	That's not interesting.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, November 9th, 2025.
	This is your award-winning Get One Nation Media Assassination episode 1815.
	This is no agenda.
	Providing our public service and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where Christy Noam's in trouble, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	In the morning.
	Why is she in trouble?
	What has she done?
	Oh, she bought jets without engines.
	Without engines?
	Oh, no.
	Do you have a clip of this incredibly interesting story?
	I don't have a clip because it just showed up this morning in the feed.
	And it's an article on.
	I'll just read you the headline from The Guardian.
	DHS Head reportedly, just ahead, by the way.
	Just ahead.
	Reportedly authorized purchase of 10 engineless Spirit Airlines planes that the airline didn't own.
	Oh, that sounds like something horribly bad.
	Sounds like what kind of a story is this?
	Well, now, it is not abnormal to purchase an airframe and an engine separately, depending on what you're doing.
	It's not completely, I mean, they are separate items.
	They have separate time between overhaul and everything.
	So that's not crazy.
	It's not crazy.
	No, what's crazy is Spirit supposedly authored the purchase of the Spirit Airlines planes that Spirit Airline didn't own.
	How does that work?
	I don't know.
	Where did you find this?
	What news is that?
	The Guardian.
	The Guardian is just trying to make a smear out of it.
	The Guardian.
	The Guardian.
	The worst.
	All right.
	She can't fly them anyway anyway.
	We're shutting down, baby.
	We're shutting down everything.
	We're shutting it down.
	Shutting it down.
	This is not good.
	In fact, this really is kind of a problem.
	You think?
	The shutdown.
	I've had this is a little.
	Yeah, here's a little update.
	Chaos in U.S. airports with delayed flights and endless queues at security control.
	The government shutdown has not just left severe staff shortages, but some 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 security agents working unpaid.
	The Federal Aviation Administration decided to stabilize the situation by cutting 10% of air traffic across 40 airports, which could further affect travelers.
	Airlines have 36 hours to slash flights after the U.S. Transportation Secretary announced cuts to transport hubs across 24 states.
	Among them are the busiest airports like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Dallas.
	There'll be frustration.
	We are working with the airlines.
	They're going to work with passengers.
	But in the end, our sole role is to make sure that we keep this airspace as safe as possible.
	The FAA's reduction plan, which excludes international flights, will begin at a 4% cut on Friday before escalating to a 10% cut next week.
	While airlines like Delta Air and American Airlines moved to reassure panicked passengers by offering refunds, the White House took a different approach.
	President Trump stated on Thursday that despite the reduced air traffic, it is still safe for Americans to fly.
	So if they actually get to next Friday with 10%, that will be chaos.
	And the main reason is our system doesn't allow for that type of reduction.
	You can't get the crews to the next airport so they can take the next, it'll screw up everything, absolutely everything.
	Which is interesting because the way that your gal Katie Porter there in California, because this is all this is all politics, of course, and we'll get into it.
	Katie Porter, who I guess she's no longer in the running, did she did she cancel herself out of becoming governor of California?
	I thought you said that some other person was the lead now, that she had screwed it up.
	I've never said anything of the sort.
	Oh, that's odd.
	And the election's not till next year.
	So it's just, you know, we got plenty of runway here.
	Woo!
	I see what you did there.
	She should work at MSNBC.
	It's great.
	So here is Katie Porter either grossly misunderstanding what's going on or perhaps lying.
	Here's a question for Donald Trump as he forces airlines to cancel thousands and thousands of flights.
	Okay.
	So I don't think the president is forcing any airline.
	The president hasn't canceled jets.
	Okay, let's keep it going.
	Why is he starting first with the commercial planes that we all use to go visit our families or get where we need to for work?
	Every day, thousands of private jets take off, carrying CEOs, billionaires, and the 1%.
	And they take up the work of the air traffic control system, too.
	Wouldn't it make more sense to cancel the planes that carry the fewest passengers first?
	It's just another example of who Donald Trump really cares about.
	And it isn't us.
	So first of all, of all the people I know who own private jets or fly private, a lot of them are Democrats.
	Maybe the majority.
	I would guess the majority.
	Everyone I know who has a private plane or, well, actually, they tend to not have them anymore.
	They're in pools.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yes, of course, but who fly privately.
	Democrats.
	Rich Democrats.
	But what is happening here is they're because of air traffic controllers and TSA agents calling in sick.
	And I can't blame them.
	And in order to keep the airspace safe, they had to reduce IFR traffic.
	So that's instrument traffic to airports around the country.
	What they actually did in the first, you know, the first pool, we've got Newark, JFK, we've got Dallas-Fort Worth.
	We've got Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Portland, everybody.
	Everybody.
	But they also did that to Teterboro.
	And I thought that was a good move because Teterboro is the private plane airport for the tri-state area, mainly for New York.
	That is probably one of the busiest for jet travel of billionaires.
	So, you know, I think everyone kind of gets affected equally.
	And I thought that was a good one to put Teterboro into the mix because maybe, maybe someone would call the Democrats and say, hey, dude, I can't land my G5, baby.
	Stop this.
	Knock it off.
	So she's just a liar.
	She's a horrible person.
	She's not a good person.
	No, and she looks like a horrible person.
	The more she puts herself out there, like in that tweet, the less likely she loses votes.
	She's making a huge mistake.
	Yeah.
	Well, as I told you, she's not going to be the governor.
	I already told you that.
	Remember?
	Told you.
	No, I don't remember you telling me that.
	I didn't tell you that.
	So now we have a new development.
	Just to reiterate the situation.
	Before you leave that topic, let's go to the, I have some ATC reports.
	Oh, I didn't.
	Yes, you do.
	I actually didn't even look at your list today.
	Well, you should.
	Well, hey, you know what?
	Can I just say something right off the bat?
	You sound grumpy today.
	You sound grumpy today.
	Well, yeah, because you immediately passed over my clips.
	No, you sounded grumpy before you even said hit it.
	I know you.
	Oh, okay.
	You can go ahead and try your psychological torture, which all the women have observed over the years and then notice.
	I'm gaslighting him again.
	There you go, ladies.
	Psychological torture.
	That's what I'm calling it.
	Psychological torture.
	PT.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	I see.
	You have two.
	Actually, I have three clips.
	You have three.
	I do.
	The simple one is from NPR, and then there's a two-parter from PBS, all, you know, all slanted.
	Oh, good.
	Because it's Trump's fault.
	And it's just, I don't know.
	It's hard to do these clips with these outlets.
	With these liars.
	Yeah.
	The national public.
	More than 1,400 flights around the country have been canceled after the Trump administration ordered airports to cut flights as the FAA deals with a shortage of air traffic controllers who are working without pay.
	The FAA says the flights at 40 airports will be cut 10% on a phase-in basis as the government shutdown now on its 39th day continues.
	Nick DeLuCanal has more from the Charlotte Douglas Airport in Charlotte.
	Inside the Charlotte Terminal here, Jessica Lamuccio and her one-year-old daughter are trying to rebook after their flight to Manchester, New Hampshire was canceled, leaving them scrambling to get to a family wedding.
	It just makes it more complicated, right?
	Especially with her, just to figure out what's our plan.
	How long do we stay here?
	How long do you wait it out?
	If you book again, is it going to get canceled again?
	The Charlotte Airport says this morning's ground stop, which lasted about an hour, was caused by staffing issues in the air traffic control tower.
	Well, there you go.
	I like the little nat pop of the baby.
	Yeah, yeah.
	There's a lot of wait until we get to the Thanksgiving turkey nat pops.
	They're going crazy.
	Crazy.
	My favorite one, which I don't have, which was on a local news story, was these people from Australia trying to get back to Australia.
	So they're in San Francisco, and their flight is leaving today or tomorrow to Australia, but it's in Los Angeles and the connecting flight has been canceled.
	Yeah, that's the problem.
	Well, hop in the car.
	Drive fast.
	Well, you know, it depends on the date.
	You can actually make it to LA from San Francisco in a rental and do a drop-off at the airport.
	Yeah.
	And you could probably do that within eight hours.
	Yeah.
	That's my suggestion.
	But they'd be on the wrong side of the road.
	Okay.
	Woo.
	There you go.
	Okay, here we go.
	This is the PBS report.
	More national public media.
	I can't wait to hear it.
	On the second day of reduced flights at 40 airports, the aviation data company Sirium said nearly 4% of flights were canceled and about 2.5% have been canceled for tomorrow.
	Randy Babbitt was FAA administrator in the Obama administration.
	Mr. Babbitt, is this working or are reduced flights reducing delays?
	So they bring, you know, they, you know how they book people.
	So they get, okay, we got to get somebody in here that maybe can slam the Trump administrator.
	Just get Obama guys.
	But it didn't work out because the Obama guy is pretty reasonable.
	Oh, no.
	Oh, no.
	Randy Babbitt was FAA administrator in the Obama administration.
	Mr. Babbitt, is this working or are reduced flights reducing delays?
	No, they're reducing the flights for the primary purpose and a good purpose of making the system safe.
	They're suffering a loss of controllers at the various stations.
	They're not interchangeable.
	And to ensure the system operates safely, you just have to reduce traffic down to the level of the number of controllers you can put up.
	Is this sustainable?
	No, it's actually going to continue to accelerate in the wrong direction.
	The longer we ask people to work without a paycheck, the longer we ask people to work 10, 12, 14-hour shifts.
	You just can't sustain that.
	People are calling in sick.
	They're tired.
	It's an intense job.
	The controllers are well trained, and there's a lot of stress in that job, and you can't keep doing it.
	We have the staffing levels where they were for a good reason, and we're not achieving that level of controllers on site and on their stations.
	I want to go back to the point you made about controllers not being interchangeable.
	It's not that you can sort of see how many controllers are working nationwide.
	It depends on each airport, each air traffic control center.
	Oh, absolutely.
	There's a big difference between being an in-route controller or a tower controller or an approach control person.
	Those are different jobs, and they're not interchangeable.
	Someone who's working en route cannot go the next morning and be in the Richmond Tower.
	You know, it takes months of training to make those transitions.
	That was a good comment from a troll in the troll room.
	Like, the answer should be from the U.S. officials, like the president and who's our boy there at the FAA.
	What's his name?
	Duffy.
	Duffy, yeah.
	Barbed Transportation.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Should say, well, this is a preview of what socialism is like.
	Just say that.
	Whether it's true or not, just say it.
	Just say it.
	Yeah.
	That's a good bit.
	Okay, troll guy.
	Everyone's a good one.
	Any of them flying anyway.
	Well, this is a preview of socialism.
	So your socialist representatives are making this happen.
	So this is what New York can look forward to.
	No flights.
	Okay, part two of this kind of little tidbit.
	Controllers, are you talking about how they're sort of being stressed now?
	No pay, many of them having to call out to work other jobs to get pay.
	They were already stressed.
	Even before this began, the system was already stressed, wasn't it?
	Yes, we're still recovering post-COVID.
	You know, they let, like a lot of companies did, they let people go because the system was only operating at 30% at the peak of COVID.
	But you don't just call them back.
	A lot of them are early retired.
	And second, if you have to hire them, it takes several years to train a controller to be fully up to speed and be able to go into the different control positions.
	Former FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt.
	Thank you very much.
	Oh, thank you.
	Good luck.
	I like his voice.
	He's got a great voice.
	Yeah, you're right.
	He should do a podcast.
	That would be great.
	He should.
	He's got a better voice than I do.
	So they were mentioned, of course, they had, yeah, their traffic was way down during COVID, but they also laid people off who refused to get the vax.
	Well, why would they do that now?
	That doesn't behoove anybody.
	You don't think they would mention that because it's a fact?
	Ah.
	I was like, I needed this guy.
	Where's my guy here?
	Oh, good lord.
	Yeah, that's my guy.
	I need that guy.
	You know, you're doing that psych constantly now.
	Because it is kind of exasperating.
	And the thing is, it's always a healthcare.
	No, this is about insurance companies who are basically banks.
	And all I know is that throughout my life, I have heard that in Congress, you just, no one discusses health, no one discusses insurance, period.
	You don't mess with the insurance companies.
	It's not a control.
	We used to be tough on insurance.
	It was a point of fact that in like states like California, it has an insurance commissioner.
	They're supposed they crack down on illegal.
	Oh, let's just raise it because we can.
	Oh, there's no, there's no competition.
	Let's just gouge everybody.
	And too bad if they don't like to pay it, what are they going to do?
	Well, this is interesting that you bring up California specifically because I think you got an email too this morning from one of our producers who emailed.
	I got it from Jay from the back office.
	And he had called the crowd health outfit that we've been talking about.
	First of all, he says, it was amazing.
	I got someone with an American accent calling me back.
	He was blown away by that.
	But that would be a big deal.
	He's like, whoa, what just happened?
	He says, it turns out, well, he says it's, he says, I can't, I can't do that.
	Well, he can, but I said, I can't do it in California because, and I don't know if this is true, apparently it's illegal in California to be without health care.
	I don't know that to be true or not.
	And that you have to pay a $900 annual fine if you don't have health care in California.
	I don't know this.
	Well, this is what our producer said.
	And apparently that's what.
	I didn't get the note.
	Oh, well, you were copying it.
	I mean, I got the, I probably got the note, but I didn't read it this morning.
	I was doing it.
	No, I understand.
	I'm not.
	I'll look into it.
	I'm not psychologically torturing you.
	I'm just reading a note.
	Since we're talking along these lines, you have to play this clip.
	This is a woman.
	And by the way, there's tons of these clips with different kinds of stories.
	And I'm going to start collecting them because I like them.
	And it's disgusting.
	It's a disgusting.
	This is the anecdote clip.
	These are disgusting stories.
	And you talked about it.
	I've talked about it.
	We all talk about it.
	But it's still disgusting.
	So I don't normally jump on that insurance, health insurance is a scam, but today it is absolutely a scam.
	And I swear it's fraud.
	I need an MRI on my back because I hurt my back.
	My clinic sent it over to a hospital.
	They ran it through my insurance.
	They called me and said, hey, your portion of it that you're going to have to pay after insurance is $5,100 for this MRI.
	So I'm like, wow, okay.
	I was like, you know, before we do that, like just wait, you know, because I'm like, $5,100 just seems wild.
	I called another place who was also waiting for my insurance to go through to see how much it was going to be.
	My insurance was still on hold with them.
	But I asked them, hey, if I just cash pay this, how much is it going to cost for this MRI?
	$35.
	And they're like, well, if you just want to cash pay it, not run anything through insurance, it's $700.
	And so I'm like, sounds a lot better than $5,100.
	So I called the original hospital back and said, hey, if I don't run this through insurance, what is the cost if I just decide to self-pay it?
	Since I know the other place is $700.
	The lady's like, I'll rerun it under you being self-pay and I'll call you back with your total.
	So a few minutes go by, the lady calls me back and she goes, hey, I talked to my supervisor.
	Since you have insurance, we are not going to let you self-pay it.
	So we won't give you that number.
	How is that not a scam?
	Isn't it my choice if I want to self-pay something versus running it through my insurance?
	How I should get to decide that, not you, but they're like, nope, since you have insurance and you've already done it that way, we are not going to allow you to self-pay it.
	And I think that's because they probably were going to give me a self-pay price, kind of like the other place, maybe a $700, maybe up to $1,300, still way less than $5,100 that it was going to make me pay.
	And I just think like, what if, you know, somebody wouldn't, like, what if I wouldn't have called around?
	I would have been stuck with this $5,100 bill.
	Insurance is such a ripoff.
	I don't know how in the world this hospital is telling me that I now can't self-pay it.
	What is it, Matt?
	I'm going to go to the other place, but I don't know how this hospital is allowed to now tell me, hey, yeah, you can't self-pay something if you have already had us run it through your insurance.
	I haven't even had it yet.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And I'll remind all of the socialists out there that having lived under the fabulous, fantastic five-pound a visit national health care system in the United Kingdom, the choice was, and Christina needed an MRI on her knee because it popped out a couple of times.
	The choice was, of course, of course, the national healthcare system, the NHS, it's our pride and joy.
	In 18 months, you can get your MRI.
	And I call up the MRI place, they say, and I say, hey, can I just come to you and pay directly?
	Well, of course.
	I go there.
	There's no one there.
	No one.
	No one.
	I pay cash.
	Good to go.
	It's and so.
	There was no one there.
	No one was there.
	I think that while we were doing the show, I believe.
	We may have discussed it.
	I vaguely remember this story.
	You've told it at least twice.
	Yeah, I'll have to look it up and being at .io.
	But the point is, is no one was there.
	No one was there.
	In other words, yeah, whatever.
	So they put you on the 18-month waiting list on purpose to torture you.
	Yes.
	Talk about torture, psychological torture.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's more psychological in this case.
	You got a bad knee, you know.
	But the whole point is that insurance companies, they're just banks, right?
	I mean, is it or the question about this last anecdote is the insurance company plus her $5,100, how much money is the hospital getting?
	Oh, they're getting $700.
	They're getting $700.
	The insurance company takes the rest.
	This is why they all want to go outside of the system.
	This is why you can go to any doctor, any healthcare provider, and say, what's your deal for cash?
	And they will say, oh, you'll see them go, oh, thank you.
	We don't have to do all those forms.
	This is great.
	Yeah, here's your price.
	Because they don't want, they have to fight.
	They have to fight with the insurance company to get their measly 700 bucks, which is what it was in the first place.
	It's theft.
	And the media branding it as healthcare, healthcare, and politicians, healthcare, well, healthcare.
	It's not healthcare.
	It's theft.
	And the whole shutdown, and this is what, this is the irksome part, is while they keep talking about healthcare, healthcare, is this subsidy for the insurance company slash financial institutions?
	Let's call it that.
	Warren Buffett, by the way.
	Can we just say Warren Buffett?
	Isn't he the big insurance guy?
	He's got a lot of insurance companies, although he's going, he's going heavily.
	He's moving his finances heavily into cash.
	Yes.
	But by the way, Warren Buffett, Democrat, private jet, Omaha.
	Exactly.
	The Oracle of Omaha.
	But the whole point is it's big finance that is in this game and the politicians, and I'm sure that the payoff, if we really go and look and if we go to opensecrets.org, all these Democrats are loaded to the gills with not just the Democrats.
	Oh, no, Republicans, too, obviously.
	And the reason, and this is why the Republicans, they don't want to, and you'll disagree with me, they don't want to use the nuclear option and end the filibuster to open up the country again because they will get penalized by their backers as well.
	So they don't want to do it.
	I don't want to lose my money, you know, my re-election campaign, my million dollars to get me on the committee.
	The whole thing, people should, I think we need pitchforks this time.
	Pitchforks.
	Pitchforks and AR-15s.
	Seriously.
	And so President Trump, he sees this.
	He's already tried to convince the Republicans, hey, just do it.
	You'll be a hero.
	No, no, no.
	You only need five Democrats to vote yes.
	And they would be heroes.
	No, no, you can't get them to do that either.
	So the president, he just goes, he's starting his own nuclear option campaign, as he posted today on Truth Social.
	President Trump is out with a proposal on health care would eliminate Obamacare and send money directly to people to buy their own health care.
	My question for you, Senator, do you support President Trump's plan to eliminate Obamacare and send money directly to the people?
	Well, his statement wasn't to eliminate Obamacare.
	His statement was very clear.
	It was, why are we sending money to insurance companies?
	Right now, the Democrat proposal they put out when Chuck Schumer put out this past week was, let's continue to send billions of dollars to insurance companies and hope insurance companies will bring down premiums.
	That's not worked.
	That's not worked for years now.
	You go back to Obamacare when it was first released.
	It was it's going to bring down rates 25%.
	Can anyone tell me that their rates have gone down 25% anywhere in this?
	And so the president's proposal was pretty straightforward.
	Stop sending money just to insurance companies.
	Hope this gets better.
	Give Americans freedom of choice.
	If we're going to allow subsidies to get out there, get them to people, not to insurance companies.
	You're saying something really interesting.
	I want to make sure I understand.
	Whoa.
	She said he's not saying anything.
	This is like, this is as bad as that's a great question.
	You're saying something interesting there.
	He said nothing interesting.
	We need to come up with a better interlude.
	That's not interesting.
	That's not interesting.
	Give Americans freedom of choice.
	If we're going to allow subsidies to get out there, get them to people, not to insurance companies.
	You're saying something really interesting.
	I want to make sure I understand.
	Is the Republican proposal not to repeal Obamacare, which has been the long-held position?
	Yeah, right now, Obamacare is healthcare in America.
	What Democrats did 15 years ago was they radically changed all health care in America.
	They moved all physicians under hospitals.
	They changed all the reimbursement programs.
	They shifted everything in.
	So it is healthcare in America.
	So the challenge is what we have now has to be fixed.
	Oh, yeah.
	It was only Democrats.
	Okay, sure.
	It was only Democrats.
	You're all in on it.
	Hillary Clinton tried this the first time around the Clinton administration.
	This theft game was always the plan.
	Always.
	And it's just so much money.
	What do you think it is?
	Hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
	It's got to be.
	It all goes right into the insurance companies.
	Finance companies.
	Warren Buffett.
	What's his stock price?
	What's his stock price?
	$147,000 a share?
	Something like that, right?
	Yeah, I know.
	I know.
	And who's there?
	Oh, all the rich people.
	Oh, he's the oracle.
	Sure.
	She also talked to Hakeem Jeffries about this.
	Leader Jeffries, President Trump floated what he believes is a potential solution to this online.
	Let me read it to you.
	He says, quote, I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the hundreds of billions of dollars currently being sent to money-sucking insurance companies in order to save the bad health care provided by Obamacare be sent directly to the people so that they can purchase their own much better health care.
	Would you ever support giving subsidies directly to the American people instead of Obamacare?
	Yes.
	I think that's an interesting question.
	We have a broken health care system, but the Affordable Care Act has been part of actually providing health insurance to tens of millions of Americans.
	Of course, there's always opportunity to improve current policy that exists.
	But Republicans aren't operating in good faith as it relates to doing anything to actually make health care more affordable.
	And we've seen that repeatedly over the last several weeks.
	Now, if Donald Trump is changing his tune and is actually willing to sit down and negotiate a bipartisan path forward, of course we are interested in doing that.
	We've been making that point for the last several weeks.
	What do you make of that proposal online, though?
	Does it sound like he's interested in doing that?
	I mean, it's hard to take these online things seriously.
	There's no actual legislation.
	There's no text.
	There's no policy documents to be able to review.
	If that exists, if that somehow materializes and manifests itself in the next day or so, we look forward to reviewing it in good faith.
	It seems like parties are rather far apart at this point.
	Doesn't seem like anyone's getting any closer.
	You know?
	Well, I mean, one side is, I mean, the Republicans want to open the government.
	The Democrats don't.
	And they think they have, and they call it leverage.
	And they think they've got the Republicans over a barrel and they think they can get the money back to their insurance buddies because the insurance buddies have all paid the way, you know, for most of these Democrats to get in office and stay in office, as you just said.
	And so they're doing the best they can to get this over.
	And then they got this latest with one of these guys, I forgot which one of the congressmen said, well, now that we've won in the blue states, we won our governorships.
	Now we have to make sure that people don't think we're going to knuckle under to the Republicans.
	We're tough guys now.
	So being tough guys, we got to stay the course.
	And so I don't know.
	I just have to, but I just want to say again, I mean, you say it's a non-start and never going to happen, but Republicans also have a one-second solution to this.
	I mean, just say, okay, we're just done with the filibuster rule, and then we open it back up.
	Republicans can also do it.
	It's all political.
	They think it's bad because, well, then the Democrats can use it.
	Okay.
	Well, to get the filibuster across the line, they're still going to have to get the Democrats because it's still that 60 votes.
	That's not true.
	I looked this up.
	No, it is true.
	I don't think so.
	I believe it is true.
	Absolutely.
	Okay.
	I looked it up.
	I looked it up.
	And the nuclear option, the nuclear option is a procedural workaround to bypass the two-thirds cloture requirement and change the rules with a lower threshold.
	It involves raising a point of order.
	And if the presiding officer rules against it, appealing that ruling, overriding the president's officer, requires only a simple majority.
	That's the nuclear option.
	As I understand it.
	Okay.
	Well, I mean, it's possible that what you read there is exactly right.
	And that would do the trick, but it's not my understanding.
	And the way they present it, at least the way I heard it, is that you still need the 60 votes and Democrats will vote for it, knowing that it's going to benefit them in the end.
	And they can still vote against the final proposal and look like the good guys.
	Well, and they have actually used this method in the past to eliminate certain parts of filibuster in 2013 for most executive and judicial nominations.
	And that was the Democrats.
	And in 2017 to expand, to extend.
	Well, it's still in play, by the way, for those processes.
	That still exists.
	What do you mean?
	Well, they put it in 2013, 2017, whatever the dates were you had.
	That is still in play.
	You still don't need 60 votes to pass a court guy.
	But that's what I mean.
	So they use the same.
	Yeah, they use it, but yeah, but once it went in play, it stayed in place.
	Yes, of course it does.
	That's the point.
	So it's all just, it's a power game.
	No matter which way you look at it, it's a power game.
	It's not what the people are doing.
	Well, he knows it's hurting the show.
	It is.
	It's definitely hurting the show.
	No doubt.
	And then, and I think President Trump.
	So we have a lot of government workers that can't afford to donate to the show.
	No.
	I have a lot of people that are, you know, affected by the downturn in the government work.
	Yes, I know.
	Buckle down, bear down on it, brother.
	Tighten the belt.
	No agenda shows in trouble.
	With everybody.
	It's trouble, but everybody else.
	It's not good.
	Hence your mood this morning.
	I get you.
	I got you.
	The president, though, I think is making a mistake.
	No, it was really the Republicans running for governor and for different state positions who all ran on woke and the border and did not run on the president's economic plan, which is pretty clear if you see what he's doing, bringing back manufacturing, doing deals, getting investments in.
	But they didn't.
	They ran on, yeah, those guys have trannies.
	That works on the national level.
	That was a political mistake because right at the moment when people are starting to feel it, they're sending the wrong message.
	Democrats go, we'll give it to you.
	It's no problem.
	We'll freeze the rents, free buses, government grocery stores.
	So now the president has an affordability problem.
	Affordability.
	And the Democrat media, well, the Democrat influence and occupied media mainstream, they are using it to an extreme.
	So when I hear this little supercut of the president, he knows it too.
	It's no good if we do a great job and you don't talk about it.
	And I don't think they talk about it enough.
	You know, they have this new word called affordability and they don't talk about it enough.
	The reason I don't want to talk about affordability is because everybody knows that it's far less expensive under Trump.
	So I don't want to hear about the affordability because right now we're much less.
	It was a conjump.
	Affordability, they call it.
	But we just lost an election.
	They said based on affordability.
	You know, I saw that they kept talking about affordability.
	So we talk about affordability.
	We should be talking about it because they talk about affordability.
	The affordability is much better with the Republicans.
	We are the ones that have done great on affordability.
	So we are the victors on affordability.
	So no one cares when the president says that.
	They're looking at their wallet and going, no, something's wrong.
	It's not affordable.
	And NBC/slash MSNBC, when are they going to be MS now?
	I can't come soon enough.
	November 15th.
	They set a trap.
	They set a trap for him and he walked right into it.
	Here's the setup.
	I haven't heard that.
	You're telling me.
	Who are you with?
	Who are you with?
	I have NBC news, sir.
	Fake news.
	NBC.
	Your fake news.
	NBC's gone down the tubes along with most of the rest of them.
	Can I ask for that?
	Well, they feel better about our country right now, other than the shutdown, obviously, which is caused by the Democrats, could be ended by the Democrats in two minutes.
	They feel much better.
	We have more jobs.
	We just set a record on jobs.
	You do know that we have more investment in our country than any country in history.
	We're over $18 trillion as of this moment, and we're going to be maybe at $20 trillion or $21 trillion by the time I finish up my first year.
	And there's been no country, China, no country in the world that's done anywhere even close to that number.
	Your friend Biden, as an example, in four years was less than a trillion.
	We'll be at $21 trillion in one year.
	So there's no country that was even close to that.
	And our country was a laughing stock all over the world.
	We have more jobs.
	We have more potential than any other country.
	And frankly, we're the hottest country right now.
	Victor said to me before, we're the hottest country anywhere in the world.
	Think of it.
	We'll have $20, $21 trillion invested.
	We have auto plants pouring back in.
	We have AI pouring back in.
	We're leading China in AI by a lot.
	We're leading everybody in every category.
	There's no category that we're in second place.
	So I just heard this yesterday that Walmart said that the Thanksgiving was 25% more expensive, 25% more expensive under Biden.
	That's a big, to me, that's a big number because Walmart's respected.
	I mean, Walmart is Walmart, and they're giving you prices.
	So that would mean that the whole series of pricing and costs, you know, the groceries and everything else, it was a conjob.
	It was a conjugate.
	Affordability, they call it.
	It was a conjob by the Democrats.
	The Democrats are good at a few things, cheating on elections and conning people with facts that aren't true.
	So he walks right into the Walmart trap.
	He should have known that Walmart is a bunch of crazy Democrats who are setting them up because if you listen to the full question, it was about Walmart.
	And he goes off and it's all true.
	All this investment, of course, but it's not going into people's pockets for Thanksgiving.
	Here's the setup paid off in this case by Jen Psaki.
	Since you brought up the Walmart Thanksgiving meal, and it is cheaper, but it also contains less.
	I haven't heard that.
	You're telling me who you with?
	Who you with?
	Fake news.
	You're fake news.
	That's right.
	The Walmart Thanksgiving meal that Trump has been touting as proof positive that he has made the country more affordable is cheaper this year because it has less stuff, like a lot less stuff.
	I mean, for days now, Trump has been pushing the fact that the pre-packaged Walmart Thanksgiving dinner is 25% cheaper than it was last year.
	But he has been conveniently ignoring the fact that this year's Walmart Thanksgiving package is missing a bunch of items it had last year like onions, celery, sweet potatoes, chicken broth, seasoning, muffin mix, marshmallows, whipped topping, and pecan pie.
	I mean, those are all pretty key, delicious parts of Thanksgiving, right?
	The meal also downgraded certain items, like swapping Hawaiian rolls for cheaper dinner rolls.
	So yeah, surprise, surprise.
	His claim is completely misleading.
	But he was pushing this whole Thanksgiving meal narrative for a reason.
	I mean, since Democrats swept Tuesday's election, the right has all of a sudden woken up to America's affordability crisis.
	I think this was a trap set by Walmart.
	They were, Mr. President.
	It's great.
	It's great.
	It's 25% cheaper.
	And people are going to get their packages and they're going to open up and like, what is this?
	I'm like, tiny Tim here.
	I think it was a purposeful trap.
	I mean, you telling me that Jen Psaki's team went to Walmart?
	Oh, let's go investigate the package.
	Oh, there's no problem.
	I'm going to say that you're wrong about that, but I don't think the impact is the way you're making it out.
	Nobody listens to the Jen Saki.
	She's got zero ratings.
	She is just, I'm just, this is, I said, this is an example of the NBC payoff.
	I think you're going to see this because he's been saying this the whole for a week.
	Oh, it's cheaper.
	It's cheaper.
	I think they set him up.
	You watch.
	You're going to have, don't know, NBC nightly news.
	Oh, the Walmart.
	If it shows up on nightly news, then I'm totally agree.
	All right.
	I think it was a setup.
	I think he was too prideful.
	He wasn't on watch.
	He's missed a lot of things.
	He's busy.
	Yeah, he is busy.
	That's true.
	And of course, we got to sneak in some other things here.
	But I think this is an opportunity.
	This is ABC.
	Well, I will say that I'm going back on this, on what you said, because the question was about Walmart specifically to trigger the Walmart reaction, and then Sake follows up.
	But again, it's small potatoes because it's like nobody listens to nobody watches her show or her.
	But I don't, this is just happening.
	I think we.
	Okay, well, I'm just saying it's just that they could have could have been better.
	Like if it was rolled out by if they skipped the sake step, it would have been better.
	Well, ABC's on it, but they have a different bent.
	This morning, with less than three weeks until Thanksgiving, new concern that turkey and egg prices could rise once again.
	That's been a- Nat pop of the week, ladies and gentlemen.
	Concerned that turkey and egg prices could rise once again.
	That's because bird flu cases are rising again.
	As more wild birds head south within the last month.
	Bird flu cases are rising.
	This is news to me.
	Yeah, well, they're tying it into Walmart.
	Don't worry.
	That's because bird flu cases are rising again as more wild birds head south.
	Within the last month, nearly 70 poultry flocks nationwide have been hit with the virus, killing more than 3.5 million turkeys, chicken, and ducks.
	Hold on a second.
	Shouldn't we just open up shooting at wild birds then?
	Isn't that the solution?
	Shouldn't we all just be in our backyards and just shooting any birds that go over?
	Solve the problem?
	I mean, there's enough guns really the carrier for the avian influenza virus, especially migratory waterfowl.
	Experts fear the government shutdown and staff cuts at the CDC and agriculture department could weaken the federal response.
	One virologist telling NPR, a network of researchers used to be in constant contact with federal agencies to monitor cases, but she says that communication has been scaled back, saying, we're not in a great position for monitoring things.
	I'm finding myself in a very uncomfortable place.
	The number of turkeys in the U.S. has already dropped to its lowest size in nearly 40 years.
	With limited supply, wholesale turkey prices are up 75% in the last year.
	Retail prices up about 25%.
	Egg prices may also suffer, but there are Thanksgiving deals to be had.
	Walmart says it's lowering the cost of its Thanksgiving meal bundle by 25% this year.
	And Target is offering a Thanksgiving dinner for four for just 20 bucks.
	Yeah, you wait.
	You wait until we're going to have it's going to be.
	Well, they didn't say anything about this shrinkage, shrinklation on the Walmart.
	Not yet.
	I think we're going to see the Thanksgiving reports, and it's going to be sad children going, mommy, what's this?
	There's no marshmallows in my sweet potatoes.
	Where's my pecan pie?
	I'm sorry, Tiny Tim.
	Sorry, Tiny Tim.
	That's President Trump.
	He shrunk your Thanksgiving Day package.
	You know, I don't want to move these things into place because of this grand conspiracy, like you're saying it.
	But that brings me to this bird test nonsense because it involves birds.
	I got it again.
	It's that time of sales.
	Oh, that's right.
	I have one of those around here somewhere, too.
	It's that time of year.
	I got to go find myself.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Yes.
	Bird test.
	So I didn't make this connection that because the birds, birds, birds, turkeys, turkey dinner.
	And then there's this stupid, the stupidest story that I've heard on PBS forever.
	I don't know if you're even aware about the bird test.
	I'm not sure.
	I don't know.
	Well, I got some clips about it.
	It's ridiculous, but here it is.
	One of the latest relationship tests on social media to go viral is the bird theory.
	It starts with a casual comment.
	You know, when you were inside, I saw a really pretty bird.
	A bird?
	I saw a bird today.
	I saw a bird today.
	I forgot to tell you that I saw a bird today.
	The test is how the partner responds.
	I saw a Blue Jay the other day, too.
	No, literally, I saw one on my run.
	Do they engage?
	Pointed beak, rounded beak, or not.
	Why are you telling them?
	These tests have racked up millions of views.
	They're based on a theory developed by couples researcher John Gottman about the importance of engaging with partners when looking for a connection.
	But what do they really tell us?
	Alexandra Solomon is a licensed clinical psychologist, an adjunct professor at Northwestern University, and the host of a podcast called Reimagining Love.
	Alexandra, how valuable is this test?
	What does it really reveal?
	You know, these tests come and go.
	And I tell you what, this one is particularly sneaky because it does have Gottman's research behind it.
	And there's a wish that all of our relationships could boil down to one little test like that.
	So although there's validity, it's putting too much weight in one little micro moment.
	Wow.
	Folks, this is a four-parter from PBS about some test to see if you should divorce your spouse based upon how they answer the question or a statement that you make about a bird that you saw.
	I saw a bird.
	Yeah, so what?
	Did you shoot it?
	Divorcing you.
	Did you shoot it?
	It might have bird flow.
	Wow.
	And it has science behind it, apparently.
	Yes, this guy.
	Look at this guy at this John Gottlieb character.
	He's like the most gosh awful looking person there is.
	I mean, it's one of those, you know, very ugly, ugly effer.
	Perfect face for science.
	And it's just like, okay.
	But I guess it caught on on TikTok.
	This is the kind of thing that we, as oldsters, we can't kind of keep up because it's going too fast for us.
	This is your boomer moment, people.
	All right.
	Here we go.
	So I had to extract this from PBS and made a whole segment out of it.
	By the way, this is not the whole thing.
	It goes on and on and on, but there's his part two, which is the yuck part of it.
	Well, tell us about Gottman's theory.
	Tell us about that.
	What Gottman says is that romantic relationships are not made up of the grand sweeping gesture, you know, the rose petals on the bed and all of the sort of fairy tale ideas that we grow up with.
	In fact, romantic relationships, the healthy ones, are made up of a series of thousands and thousands and millions of micro moments of connection that build trust and safety and authenticity between partners.
	That's what this test is about.
	It's a bid for connection.
	You know, the New York Times calls this social media's relationship yardstick du jour.
	And you talked about how these come and go.
	Why are we so drawn to this?
	We're drawn to it because there are few things in our lives that make us feel quite as vulnerable as our intimate relationships do.
	The stakes are high.
	The consequence of losing the person that we love, you know, through a breakup, through divorce, certainly through death, those consequences are very, very big.
	You know, we risk heartbreak.
	And so I think we are forever looking for evidence to answer the question, are we okay?
	You know, are we okay?
	Are you with me?
	Do you have my back?
	Do you see me?
	Hold on.
	Please tell me you have a clip of the actual test and how it works because I can't wait to try this right after the, in fact, I might call Tina during the show.
	It's simple.
	It's just, you say, I saw a bird, and then you get the reaction of the other person, which it goes on.
	They kind of explain it.
	Let it play out.
	But the only, here, we'll do it.
	This is the, this is how two people who have been together in a relationship for 18 years do this test.
	Go ahead, John.
	Ask me.
	Well, in fact, I have this plan for the end.
	Oh, okay.
	All right.
	And what's the motivation for people to put these online and have strangers discuss it?
	Well, John, here's where the rubber hits the road.
	I do think that especially in the scenarios we're seeing where people have taped their partner without their consent.
	You know, that's a kind of boundary violation.
	And I think tempted.
	What's the boundary violation?
	Oh, taping someone without their consent.
	You know, the way the kids do with the cameras with their little phone and bring your phone out and you record someone.
	But I'm going to use this.
	Darling, that's a boundary violation.
	It's a boundary violation.
	Where people have taped their partner without their consent.
	You know, that's a kind of boundary violation.
	And I think that if somebody is tempted to test their partner in this way, the first step is to check in with themselves.
	You know, what is what's going on here?
	And we really have normalized that we sort of live these two lives.
	We live the flesh and blood life of ours and we live this online life.
	So I think we really have normalized kind of, you know, ordinary or no big deal right now to be showing little windows into our world online.
	But I think it's a problem.
	I think we ought to be careful.
	But this does show a willingness to sort of let the other partner's world in, something that they value in the world they found interesting.
	Does that tell us anything?
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	There's, you know, it feels really good when we notice something or we raise something and our partner turns toward us.
	Is she in a relationship currently?
	No, she's a single mom at best.
	Instead of, you know, looking at their phone and saying, uh-huh, or not responding at all, it's really painful.
	Those breaks in connection are really painful for us.
	Those moments of attunement where our partner turns their attention toward us feel really good.
	So that's where the validity is.
	The validity is that our desire to connect with our partner in these small, seemingly insignificant ways.
	Those matter.
	It makes sense that people want, you know, to have the partner ask follow-up questions about this little bird that we saw.
	So, okay.
	First of all, the term attunement is a possible show title.
	This is attunement.
	Okay, put it on the list.
	Okay.
	I think there was the last clip.
	No, no, no.
	No, there's a bird test for retort clip.
	Yes, that's what we're going to do the test.
	You're going to ask me.
	I found a script for how to answer this correctly so you pass the test.
	Well, I know the answer.
	And it is clip, and don't play it.
	It's clip four, but this is what you're going to ask me what you saw a bird and then you play clip four because that will be my answer.
	Okay.
	And then you're going to ask me the question and I'll give my answer.
	Okay.
	Can we play?
	Ask me then.
	Play okay.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	I ask you and then I hit the clip four.
	Okay.
	Now, am I supposed to, isn't it just a statement?
	Like, I saw a bird today.
	Isn't that, I'm not supposed to ask a question.
	Right.
	Right.
	Okay.
	Could you pretend to be on your phone for a second?
	Because I think that's part of the time.
	I'm on the phone.
	Okay.
	I saw a bird today.
	Yes.
	The bird is the word.
	Yes.
	Question for you.
	Yes.
	Name that group.
	Oh, everybody's talking about the birds.
	It's the surfers.
	The trash men.
	The trash men.
	Ah!
	I should have known.
	Okay.
	And it was based on another song called Birds the Word.
	Yes.
	By another group.
	Name that group.
	You've got me.
	The Rivingtons.
	Very good.
	Is that available on 78?
	No, but I'll tell you everyone should go look up the Trash Man presentation of Birds the Word or Surfer Bird.
	Surfer Bird.
	That's where I was confused.
	On YouTube and watch this guy.
	And then you realize where Mick Jagger got all his moves.
	Okay.
	So now I'll be on my phone and then you say, I saw a bird today.
	Hold on, hold on.
	Let me get on my phone.
	Okay, I'm on my phone.
	I saw a bird today.
	Hey, man, birds aren't real.
	That's reasonable.
	That's my answer right there.
	Everybody knows birds aren't real.
	They're spy drones.
	So I have seen people do a version of this.
	And really what's, if I understand this abbreviated version of this very long report that was apparently on public broadcast systems.
	He was.
	And this is noticeable, especially if you're in a group setting where someone is on their phone and you'd be talking.
	Or even if it's just two people and they're texting something, it's because they're texting.
	And it's interesting to see they'll actually be, you might have seen this yourself with the kids.
	Maybe, maybe not.
	You probably forbid phones at the table.
	No, I bitch about it a lot.
	Yeah.
	Then they will answer you, but it'll be when they have a break in their typing.
	So it's like a delayed response.
	They hear what they're doing.
	That's an interesting.
	You're right.
	I've seen this happen.
	Yeah.
	It's a delayed response.
	Yeah.
	You say something.
	They're still typing and they can't lose the train of the train of thumb typing.
	Yes.
	And then once they finish and you see them finish, then they say something.
	Yeah.
	That's what it is.
	And so some people will say something like, ooh, we almost crashed, you know, just to see if their friend, partner, spouse, whatever is listening, which of course they aren't.
	They are.
	They're hearing, but they're not listening.
	And this is.
	But I blame the, there's only one reason.
	In fact, the whole bird test, the whole thing is really all about one thing, which is the addiction to the phone.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	So, okay.
	You know, I'm against this.
	I think it's a bad idea.
	What?
	I'm against tricking it.
	This is a boundary violation.
	Oh, you're against the tricking, the tricking of the concept itself.
	I mean, you might, why don't you just say, I saw a bird.
	Why don't you just say, hey, you suck.
	You know, you just say whatever you want because the whole intent is to make the other person feel crappy because they, what?
	You say, what?
	I saw a bird.
	Oh, and just, and then, of course, the follow-up is, you aren't listening.
	I mean, that's pretty much what this is about.
	Well, it's a pretty good shout.
	It's not a good.
	It's not a.
	It's not a good it's, it's a boundary, boundary violation.
	You should have an adult conversation and say, hey, you know when we're talking, let's just put the phones down.
	Uh, that's it.
	How about just grabbing the phone out of their hands is so stomping it on the floor?
	Ah wow wow, that that's well.
	You know, it's basically a double shaggy dog story.
	Yeah no, I like it.
	I like that.
	Bringing in the the uh, the surfing, surfing bird was good.
	It is unfortunately that time of the year again.
	Do you know what time it is?
	You know what time it is.
	You don't know what time it is, do you?
	You don't know time.
	I wish it's cop time cop cop, cop time.
	Brother, you've got clips from this.
	Oh yes well, it's not so, it's not so.
	I have a setup clip from the opening of Cop 30.
	All the elites are in Brazil.
	Woo, party time.
	Let's fly our jits down.
	A private Jess and you can have a lot of party time.
	Brazil is the place to be party town Central.
	The president of Brazil, Lula De Silva, greeted heads of state from all over the world as they arrived for the U.s Cop 30 climate summit in the Brazilian Amazon.
	The leaders from the planet's three biggest polluters China, The?
	U.s.
	And India, were nowhere to be seen.
	In his opening address, Lula urged countries to actively fight against climate disinformation.
	That's the theme for this year's Cop 30.
	It's climate disinformation which, funny enough, is coming from themselves.
	extremist forces fabricate fake news to obtain electoral gains and imprison future generations in an outdated model that perpetuates social and economic inequalities and environmental degradation A message echoed by French president Emmanuel Macron.
	Climate disinformation today threatens our democracies, the Paris agenda and therefore our collective security.
	Security colleagues, but it's a tough sell when the leader of one of the world's largest carbon emitters, Donald Trump, is the source of that disinformation, calling climate change a hoax and a conjob and refusing to send anyone to the meeting.
	For its part, China will send its deputy prime minister, while Argentina's president, a Trump ally, has also boycotted the summit.
	In his speech, the?
	U. Secretary general tore into countries for their failure to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, a key aim of the 2015 climate summit in Paris.
	Every fraction of a degree means more hangers, displacement.
	No, you gotta listen to what he says.
	Every fraction of a degree 2015 climate summit in Paris.
	Every fraction of a degree means more hangers, displacement and loss, especially for those least responsible.
	It's horrible.
	Every fraction of a degree to climate change.
	Now we know that uh, there's a scandal brewing in Denmark, but that doesn't matter, because it's Cop 30.
	We've got to promote killing the cows man.
	As climate change worsens and fossil fuels run out, finding new green energy sources is of the essence.
	Oh wait, this isn't the cow's clip, this.
	This is even funnier.
	You, as a chemist slash industrialist, will like this gambit.
	The world's first large-scale e-methanol facility in Casa Denmark, is trying to foster the green transition.
	E-methanol do you know what e-methanol is?
	E-methanol is uh, i'm trying to come up with environmentally friendly ethanol.
	Yes, and how would you make e-metholes?
	How would you make e-methanol?
	This is great.
	I would stick a tube up a cow's butt.
	That would No, that's wrong.
	E-methanol is made using renewable energy by splitting a water atom with an electrolyzer and then combining the pure hydrogen in a reactor tower with biogenic carbon dioxide.
	European Energy, the company that co-owns the facility, intends for e-methanol to be a green alternative to traditional methanol.
	So they're doing hydrolysis with solar panels.
	Yeah, hydrolysis with solar panels and windmills, and then some cow burps.
	And, oh, it's really good.
	This report proves it.
	Made with fossil fuels.
	The wind market today is 100 million tons of methanol.
	And part of the consumers of that wants to green their supply chain.
	So it can be in shipping for fuel, which is actually new for methanol.
	There's even an additional use of methanol.
	Decarbonizing the shipping sector, which has grown to account for about 3% of global emissions, is a focus for global leaders and an issue set to be discussed at COP30 in Belém, Brazil on Monday.
	E-methanol could help green the industry by replacing the large amount of fossil fuels used by vessels to transport cargo across the globe.
	European Energy CEO Eric Anderson says the company expects price parity with fossil fuels by 2030.
	Even so, the facility's current e-methanol production capacity is 40,000 tons annually, a ways away from replacing the 100 million ton global market for methanol producing fossil fuels.
	40,000 tons, but we only need 100 million thousand tons by 20.
	We can make it, boys.
	We'll be able to make it.
	No worries.
	Crank up the windmills.
	Because, of course, what's happening now is now that COP30 is taking place, this is the money summit.
	This is where everybody puts their proposals in.
	I need some money for my research.
	I need some money for my e-methanol.
	It's a big money suck.
	And here's the killing the cows clip.
	When cows eat, the grass ferments in their stomachs and produces methane.
	Methane is over 80 times stronger than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere in the short term.
	A single cow can release more than 100 kilos of methane a year.
	Now, multiply that by the world's billion cows, and the number gets wild.
	Due to climate change.
	The number gets wild, everybody.
	But scientists are testing fixes like seaweed feed, which in some trials has cut methane by up to 80%.
	Garlic additives have also been found to change a cow's gut microbes and reduce gas production.
	Oh, get to the point.
	Get to the point you really want to sell us.
	And then there are even cow vaccines designed to block methane-making microbes in the stomach.
	Yeah, that sounds good.
	Dead cows.
	Cutting methane from livestock is one of the fastest ways to slow global warming.
	Releasing wind can be pretty funny, sure.
	But from cows, they are no laughing matter.
	I mean, yes, this will work.
	This will absolutely work.
	If you kill the cows with your silly vaccine, there will be less methane in the atmosphere.
	Absolutely.
	So that's the vaccine, guys.
	So since where I'm sitting in this office, I have an overview of a freeway.
	Yeah.
	And there are thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of cars that go by.
	All pumping out, you know, a moderate amount of CO2 out the tailpipe.
	Yes.
	And I'm thinking, I haven't seen a cow for months.
	But yet, somehow the cows are going to be responsive.
	This is a bunch of vegan meat haters blaming the cows for climate change when there's no such thing as bullcrap.
	No, this is the vaccine people trying to make money right now.
	There's that too.
	Okay, you have a combination of lethal con of the lethal combination of vegans and vaxxers.
	It's unbelievable.
	Won't they just give the vaccines to the vegans?
	There's a solution.
	I saw a bird today.
	Everybody's talking about the bird.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	So if you're a scientist, I need more money for my research.
	I need more money for my research.
	I must come up with a term that gets me money for my research.
	Put it into a report for me, please.
	2025 has not been a good year for glaciers.
	A series of reports all appear to confirm that climate change is melting these bodies of ice at an alarming rate.
	Since 2000, the world has lost more than 7 trillion tons of ice from mountain glaciers.
	Signs of melting evident here on the Italian side of the Montgomery sea.
	Now, see if you can spot the term the scientist is going to use to get more money for research.
	We have observed over the years is that the glacier is slowing down.
	And this is a sign that there is less input of mass to the glacier from snowfall.
	Now scientists are rushing to recover the words.
	You'll hear it.
	In Tajikistan, where the ice has created a natural archive full of important information about rainfall, volcanic eruptions, and other climate events.
	So the point is that because the glaciers are melting, we're losing history.
	Yes, we're losing critical data.
	But what can happen as the warming progresses, you will have very hot summers even up there, very hot, meaning above the melting point of ice, which means that water can percolate into the fern.
	That's the compacted snow that is on top of the firm ice and therefore contaminate the climate signals.
	It's a critical mission to secure the first.
	It's the climate signals, John.
	Climate is we're losing climate.
	You kind of put a Boeing right after the word you wanted me to identify.
	Yeah, I kind of did that.
	Yes, kind of did that.
	It's the climate signals.
	But you know what?
	Let's get Japan in on this scam because they're there.
	Everyone's at the COP 30 except for America, Russia, and China.
	ARC.
	And India.
	Oh, India.
	I think India sent a dude, though.
	I think they sent a dude, a representative, climate dude.
	They might send somebody.
	And I think China also sent a dude, but an insignificant dude.
	Because, you know, all the bigwigs are there.
	Anyway, Japan, we got a problem with climate change.
	Holes in walls.
	Chairs scattered about.
	Refrigerator doors ripped from their hinges.
	This is the aftermath of a bear probably looking for food in a hot spring onsen in northern Japan.
	The authorities killed it.
	They're talking like this all the time at the climate summit.
	Is it a library?
	And they have to speak like this when they talk about, oh, we're talking about climate, so we have to be quiet.
	It's very, very serious business.
	You know, this is about death of the entire planet.
	Southern Japan.
	The authorities killed it soon after the inn's owner called the authorities.
	This 68-year-old was taken by surprise when he opened his garage and he found a bear sitting inside.
	A bear!
	Yeah, I thought it's over for me.
	This is how I'm going to die.
	I thought that I was going to be killed by that bear.
	This map shows the number of non-fatal bear attacks in yellow and bear attack deaths in red with a stark uptick in October.
	We've got a bear attack map going A record setting 13 people have died in bear attacks since April.
	More than doubling the previous record set in 2023.
	More than 100 people have been wounded in attacks across the country.
	According to experts, a warming climate has produced an abundance of food for bears in the mountains, creating an ideal environment for them to thrive.
	Due to climate change.
	Unbelievable.
	You're going to be killed with this for the next week.
	I think the way what's interesting to me is that at the same time they're reporting, even though not all the networks are doing it, they're reporting that because of this cold snap that's coming in from the Arctic that's going to hit us this week.
	It's hitting us now.
	A lot of people aren't listening to the show because of it.
	It's called the isn't it?
	No, it's not the bomb, it's the...
	No, it's something else.
	But whatever it is, they've now predicting 200-year records are going to be broken for all-time lows.
	How does that work?
	Yeah, well, it's due.
	Due to climate change.
	Climate change.
	Don't you understand anything?
	And then amidst all of this, the people who actually get it right, they're going out of business.
	After more than two centuries, the Farmer's Almanac announcing it is ending production after the 2026 edition.
	That's after it releases.
	The publication says rising costs in a changing media landscape made it impossible to keep going.
	The website will also slowly shut down, along with its social media posts.
	Staff say they're thankful for the sport that they've had over the years, and they are proud of the legacy they leave behind.
	This is a travesty.
	Yeah, now that you mention it.
	The Farmer's Almanac was the last time you bought a copy.
	Probably.
	You're there's a reason.
	This is what happens when people neglect things like the Farmer's Almanac or even the No Agenda Show for that matter.
	And they just take it for granted.
	Oh, there it is.
	Yeah, it's predicting the weather again.
	And there you have it.
	No, blah, blah, blah.
	And there they go out of business because you didn't buy a copy.
	Well, I feel really bad now.
	You should.
	Let me see.
	Let me see.
	Because I think, yeah, there's a 20.
	So we should buy the 20.
	If everyone en masse buys the 2026 almanac, they might be able to keep the website going.
	Well, I think we should all buy a copy.
	Let me see.
	$4.79, people.
	It's cheap.
	No wonder they went out of business.
	It should have been eight bucks by now.
	Well, the real problem is that they only release, they didn't release it.
	Did they release it every year?
	The Farmer's Almanac?
	They did?
	Yeah.
	I guess.
	Yeah, they should have had Farmers Almanac monthly.
	Well, their website is no good.
	I mean, they should have, they should have done V for V, baby.
	They should have done value for value.
	But yeah, you're right.
	Your point is well made is because everyone just kind of expected the news to tell us what the Farmers Almanac said, and we didn't support them.
	Me included.
	I stick my hand to my own breast.
	Me included.
	Now they're going away.
	And who are the people behind it?
	They're all at work.
	They're FAA controllers.
	Was it farmers?
	I don't think it was a farmer involved.
	Asking for a friend.
	Yeah.
	So, yeah, so we'll be absolutely obliterated with this nonsense for the next week, at least.
	At least.
	So I have some couple of ice clips.
	Yeah.
	The ice thing is I do have some local boots on the ground stuff about the ice stuff.
	Oh, good.
	Well, let's get to that right.
	These clips are interesting.
	This is the wild ice.
	This is a kick.
	This wild ice app.
	They get some apps they're using, and everyone's stunned by these apps.
	Oh, there's things, crazy, crazy things in this app that like, you know, do facial recognition and it's just a scandal.
	As immigration and customs enforce.
	Oh, I forgot.
	It says SS on there.
	I mean, Scott Simon.
	Well, how, I mean, oh, okay.
	Is that now the code?
	Is that the.
	Yeah, I'm sorry.
	I should have.
	I've been doing this for a while with the code, but I forgot to tell you the code.
	Suffering sucker-ash.
	I'm Scott.
	Sorry.
	That's my fault.
	Simon.
	As Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, strives to deport more immigrants, it is increasing its surveillance tools.
	Critics warn these new technologies can violate privacy and civil liberties.
	And because Jude Joffey Block joins us now.
	Jude, thanks so much for being with us.
	Jude.
	Jude, thank you.
	What are some of the tools that ICE agents are using these days?
	Well, they've got new contracts to monitor social media and help find people's locations.
	Do you want to overrun us and poison us and take our families and kill us?
	ICE has also revived a contract with a company called Paragon Solutions, which is known for making spyware that can hack into cell phones.
	We're all going to die.
	But one big thing that's new is an app ICE and Border Patrol agents have in the field.
	Social media videos show they're using it to scan people's faces during encounters on the street.
	No way, are you an idiot?
	In an attempt to identify them and figure out if they're deportable.
	Jude, how does this app work?
	Well, there's still a lot that's unknown.
	But one of these videos that was first recorded by 404 Media was shot outside of Chicago.
	And you see Border Patrol agents approaching two young people.
	These are nerves for that.
	The young man filming the encounter says he doesn't have ID.
	And then the agent turns to his colleague and asks, Can you do facials?
	Can you do facial? He says.
	And his colleague pulls out his phone and holds it up and appears to scan his face, though it's possible he took a photo.
	The video was posted by someone claiming to be the cousin of one of the boys who was stopped.
	The poster didn't respond to a request about the post, but NPR was able to verify exactly where it was taken.
	We did get a statement from ICE, and they didn't answer questions about this app, but said, nothing new here.
	For years, law enforcement across the nation has leveraged technological innovations to fight crime.
	Yeah, I do have a problem with this.
	I mean, we can make fun of it, but we do live in a constitutional republic where papers please, and if you don't give your papers, you get a facial is not cool.
	I'm against that.
	I don't care what's going on.
	Yeah, well, they have the, you know, they ask for your driver's license all the time.
	You have to have a like, you know, you have to have real ID to get on a plane.
	Yes, I know.
	And then somebody's got a guy in front of you that you want to deport.
	You want to make sure, boy, I think my voice is falling apart.
	You're choking up.
	I'm not choking up.
	I'm choked.
	And so they take a picture of the guy's face and it shows up as who it is.
	I mean, we've been primed for this.
	If you watch television mysteries and dramas over the last 25 years.
	I know we've been primed for it.
	Here's the problem.
	And they do it on Facebook.
	Yeah, that's the problem.
	You should not have a Facebook profile.
	This is problem number one.
	I don't even have a Facebook account.
	Do you?
	No, I gave mine up at least 11 years ago.
	At least.
	And people still, it's amazing that people still send me, hey, you got to see this post.
	And it's Facebook.
	And I can't see the post.
	Actually, you know, recently, I don't know when this started.
	Sometimes you can.
	You got to click the Facebook login thing, but then if you scroll, then right away pops up.
	Oh, yeah, if you scroll, but if it's just a video, you can see that you watch it.
	That's true.
	That's true.
	Anyway, we'll play the second clip and then it hasn't got no gimmicks in it.
	No gimmicks.
	It's gimmick-free.
	Here, do we know if this technology except for Scott Simon, which is gimmick by itself?
	Here, do we know if this technology can be used to identify essentially everybody, U.S. citizens?
	Well, a group of Democratic senators has been trying to get answers to that question and others about this app since September, but haven't gotten them from ICE.
	They've called on ICE to stop using this technology and reiterated that demand on Monday.
	My colleague Martin Costi spoke to Democratic Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey.
	This type of on-demand surveillance is harrowing, and it should put all of us on guard.
	It chills speech, it erodes privacy, it ultimately undermines our democracy.
	He expressed concern that this tool could be used against people who criticize the government or protesters.
	What safeguards exist to try to ensure that these technologies are not abused?
	Well, I asked that to ICE and DHS, and we didn't hear back.
	I also spoke with legal and privacy experts who told me that our current legal and regulatory framework just isn't robust enough to ensure that these kinds of new tools are used with the appropriate oversight and accountability that's really needed.
	Emily Tucker is with Georgetown Law School Center on Privacy and Technology.
	Immigration powers are being used to justify mass surveillance of everybody.
	And she says it's a mistake to think this doesn't affect every one of us.
	Okay, so my opinion remains the same.
	And yes, I'm okay with tools, tools for immigration, but here's the problem.
	So this needs to be very clear who can use this and under what circumstances.
	Just so if you're pulled over, then showing your driver's license, which you don't even have to hand off, I don't think technically.
	You can just hold it against the glass.
	But you can also.
	Yeah, try doing that in Texas.
	It will work in Texas.
	It will work in Texas.
	Just give them your license.
	What difference does it make?
	Yeah, listen, you have less road ahead of you than you have behind you, but there's a lot of young people.
	I don't want them living in a society where cops just come up to you and just scan your face to see who you are.
	I don't want that.
	I don't.
	Now, what's the problem with the immigration enforcement right now in our sleepy little town of Fredericksburg?
	20 minutes, 15 minutes up the road, we have Boot Ranch.
	Boot Ranch.
	You should look it up.
	Boot Ranch.
	Poor House?
	No, Boot Ranch is a gated community.
	I don't know how many houses, a lot of houses.
	You cannot buy a house there for under $2 million.
	Most of them are $3 to $7 million.
	It's crazy.
	They got private golf course and everything.
	It's fine.
	Perfect.
	But they have maid service.
	And this is how I know about it.
	Because the maids stopped showing up.
	You know why?
	Because ICE came into Fredericksburg and they're not looking for criminals.
	They're just looking for numbers.
	Like, we got to have numbers.
	We have quotas.
	We got to arrest people.
	And yeah, guess what?
	A lot of the maids who have been here maybe 20 years, they've been arrested and deported.
	So they're not just kicking out technically arrested.
	No, what do you mean?
	They were taken into custody.
	Yeah, but that's different than being arrested.
	Oh, be a dick about it.
	You know what I mean?
	No, I'm not being a dick about it.
	I'm just trying to, your words matter.
	You're the one that says that all the time.
	So they have been deported.
	Yeah.
	And yes, they were here illegally, but this is no longer just looking for criminals.
	There are ICE patrols.
	I understand why people get freaked out about this, particularly in Boot Ranch, because who's going to clean their homes?
	I mean, this is a real problem in Boot Redis now.
	Poor people.
	Yeah.
	But, you know, it's gotten a little bit beyond we're kicking out criminals.
	They're just doing quotas now.
	Chicago, I don't know.
	But when you're in Fredericksburg trolling for cleaners, which, yeah, you're going to find a lot of that.
	And yes, they should be replaced by American citizens.
	But, you know, when you're just walking around and face scanning everybody, it's, eh, I don't like it.
	Well, you should be like this woman then.
	This is the talk anti-constitution Z de Gen Zer.
	All right, here's my hot take of today.
	I don't think that a society governed by a document that was written in the 1700s by a bunch of drunk white guys in their 20s who couldn't even conceive of the existence of the majority of the United States of America should be used to this day.
	And I don't think that we are going to have a successful society until we get rid of the thing and restart.
	Because the founding fathers could not have conceived of my existence.
	They just could not have.
	They couldn't conceive of it.
	Their brains would have exploded.
	So how could that document possibly serve me?
	How could it?
	We need a new one.
	We need to restart.
	We need to start over.
	This one's trash.
	We need to revamp it and get a new one.
	Well, going from what I said to what she says and saying I should be like her is rude and just uncalled for.
	There's no psychological.
	That's okay because I'm not a baby like you and whine about it.
	I just tell you.
	And by the way.
	I just tell you straight up.
	And by the way, the founding fathers were aware of people like her.
	Yeah.
	They were called witches.
	Witches.
	I was right there with you.
	But all of this facial recognition and digital identity, this is really happening.
	Although in France, they're kind of downplaying it right now because there was a bit of a fruck.
	I got a Euro News debunk report.
	Although, sounds like it could kind of happen anyway.
	A claim is circulating online that France is entering an era of total traceability amid allegations that the country's digital ID will be directly tied to personal social media accounts.
	This post on X says that the measure would, on paper, allow authorities to fight against the bad guys, but that unofficially it would be one more step towards a society where words and opinions are policed.
	It attaches a video of Paul Midi, a member of the French parliament and of President Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance Party, giving an interview in which he says that the measure would prevent complete anonymity online to help tackle impunity for online harassment and other illegality.
	However, the caption is wrong.
	While French MPs did consider linking the digital ID to citizen social media, these proposals were rejected and the country is not currently poised to introduce the measure.
	The idea first emerged in 2023 as part of the discussion on the law aimed at securing and regulating the digital space or SREN law.
	At the time, MIDI and others tabled an amendment that would have required a certification by a state-approved third party, such as the digital ID, when creating new accounts on social media.
	The video of MIDI attached to the social media post is from an interview with French radio station RTL at around the time that politicians were discussing the proposed amendment.
	So it's not new.
	Ultimately, the amendment faced fierce opposition and was withdrawn.
	And the final law came into force in May 2024 without the measure linking digital IDs with social media accounts.
	As things stand, the digital ID can be used to verify someone's age when he's raising a social media account, for example.
	But you're not required to do so, and the digital ID is not automatically linked to your social media accounts.
	Yeah, I give them one year before that's required in Europe.
	One year max.
	That is definitely happening because they have the digital ID.
	Everybody's got digital ID in Europe.
	And the Brit card is going to be tied to it.
	I wish I now irked that I didn't get this clip of this French woman who's floating around, attractive lady, floating around, telling people to some guy got arrested in France for post, just getting like England, posting pictures of a bunch of migrants just hanging around, you know, the bakery and, you know, harassing ladies and got thrown in jail, this guy, for posting it.
	And so she came out with a video saying we got to start posting this stuff because it's bullcrap and what's going on.
	But digital ID and facial recognition out of the blue is different.
	Yeah, it's different.
	But it's all going to be tied together.
	Palantir, man.
	Don't you know?
	Don't you know Palantir?
	Palantir is going to do is you palantir.
	Elon Musk or Palantir.
	Peter Thiel.
	They're all going to kill us.
	And they might.
	They just might.
	Hackers will save the day.
	Okay.
	Meanwhile, oh boy, we've got another drone scaring people in Brussels.
	They're showing video.
	Literally a drone with red blinking lights saying, I'm a drone.
	I'm a drone.
	Brussels Zavan Tam Airport is still feeling the aftershock of Tuesday's drone sightings, which forced the city's main airport to close and left dozens of flights grounded.
	The country's defense minister told local media that the incident appeared to be carried out by professionals intent on destabilizing the country.
	All departing and arriving flights were...
	Professionals.
	I mean, I don't understand.
	Someone flies a drone with a red flashing light.
	It's not a Reaper drone.
	It's just a drone flying around the airport, which should, of course, be completely illegal.
	Jokers is some teenagers.
	Yeah, but the payoff is in the report.
	Intent on destabilizing the country.
	All departing and arriving flights were temporarily suspended, forcing hundreds of passengers to spend the night at the airport.
	Liege Airport, used principally as a cargo hub, was also closed due to drone sightings on Tuesday.
	Both airports have now reopened, but officials have warned that disruptions are expected to continue and that passengers should be prepared for delays.
	Both NATO and the European Union have been on high alert recently following a string of airspace violations thought to be carried out by Russia.
	Of course, it's Russia.
	Oh, of course.
	It's Russia.
	Thought to be.
	But this is no longer drones.
	This is a red flashing light, that's why.
	Yes, but it's no longer drones.
	It is hybrid.
	This is what we call this.
	This is hybrid.
	It's hybrid.
	And when you're talking hybrid, there is no one better but Mark Ritter to come in and tell you about the hybrid.
	Well, you know, when it comes to hybrids, and the words is a bit strange.
	It's a very strange word.
	Because on the hybrid, we have seen assassination attempts.
	We have seen the in assassination attempts at John.
	Have you seen an assassination attempt in a hybrid?
	Who was except for Trump and Charlie Kirk?
	Was not an attempt, was the real one.
	In some countries, the jamming of commercial airplanes.
	Jamming of commercial vest planes with commercial were jammed.
	Which ones?
	Oh, Ursula's.
	Okay.
	Which could pose great risks, of course, to commercial aviation.
	We assume an attack on the NHS in the United Kingdom.
	What attack on the NHS in the United Kingdom?
	I don't have the report.
	Do you know it?
	Can I ask a question?
	Yes.
	We have people that can hit a target at, oh, I don't know, 600 yards with a scope and a laser spotting gear.
	Why can't we just shoot the why do we have just one sharpshooter at the airport?
	These things aren't that high up.
	They're not at 30,000 feet.
	You are missing the point, man.
	And just shoot the drone.
	I don't understand why they let these drones fly around.
	We might need to make the people scared.
	Don't you understand this to make the people scared?
	So I don't like the word hybrid.
	I do.
	Okay, it is the accepted language.
	Okay, it is the word.
	We're just going to use the bird is the word.
	We use the hybrid.
	Clearly, this is something where within NATO and within our allies, we are working extremely actively to make sure that we are on the case, people.
	NATO is good.
	Get your money ready.
	Get your tax money ready.
	It's all good.
	We counter whatever is necessary.
	I mean, you take, for example, the situation Christmas time last year when the undersea sea calendar was cut between Estonia and Finland.
	We immediately launched Baltic Century.
	And that was launched to make sure that we would be able to use the latest technologies, etc., to counter what happened there.
	So sometimes it is big, but we do, sometimes it is smaller, sometimes you cannot see it.
	Sometimes it is invisible what we do with your money.
	It's complete.
	Don't worry.
	It's good what we're doing with your tax money.
	It's invisible.
	But we are working very hard collectively to make sure that we defend against any threat, including hybrid threats.
	And Russia.
	And Russia.
	It's always about Russia.
	Oh, man, these guys.
	So, Orban was at the White House, the president of Hungary.
	And this is really interesting.
	Because I'm confused now.
	What power does the president have?
	Because Hungary is a part of the EU, no?
	Yes, they're part of the EU.
	They are an EU country.
	And NATO, too.
	Yes.
	So, but somehow the President of the United States has jurisdiction over their use of Russian oil.
	I'm a little confused about this.
	It was smiles and compliments as U.S. President Trump welcomed Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban.
	Meeting in Washington, the two men discussed economic cooperation and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
	And just weeks after imposing what Trump called tremendous sanctions on Russian oil and gas, the U.S. President has given Hungary a one-year exemption.
	Orban, who's a long-time Trump ally and critic of Western support for Ukraine, made his case and welcomed the decision.
	It is not possible to secure Hungary's energy supply and to provide affordable energy to Hungarian families and businesses if sanctions continue to be imposed on two key pipelines.
	We looked at the issue and we asked the president to lift the sanctions.
	We asked for two pipelines to be exempted from all sanctions.
	International monetary fund figures show Hungary relied on Russia for 74% of its gas and 86% of its oil in 2024.
	It warned that an EU-wide cutoff of Russian natural gas alone could force output losses in Hungary exceeding 4% of GDP.
	Trump agreed that Hungary needed reprieve from the sanctions because of its landlocked position.
	He also accused other European countries of buying Russian oil and gas for years.
	COL is a great country.
	It's a big country, but they don't have sea countries.
	So they have a difficult problem.
	But when you look at what's happened with Europe, many of those countries, they don't have those problems.
	And they buy a lot of oil and gas from Russia.
	And as they know, I'm very disturbed by that because we're helping them.
	Shortly before Friday's exemption announcement, Ukraine's President Zelensky said they cannot let Russia profit from energy and said they would find a way to ensure no Russian oil was in Europe.
	How does the President of the United States get to exempt Hungary from taking Russian energy through the pipelines?
	Is that our policy?
	Well, no, but Europe has sanctions.
	We don't have sanctions on Europe other than we'll put tariffs on you.
	Is it exemption from our tariffs on that what Hungarian salami?
	What do we get from Hungary?
	What do we get from Hungary?
	Yeah, that's a good question.
	There's got to be something from Hungary that we're going to be able to get to.
	We probably get something from him, you know.
	It's just that we're running the show.
	I don't know.
	You know, this is not a shock to you.
	I was just curious.
	It's like, maybe the Israelis told us to do this.
	Yeah.
	Hey, Scott Besson was on with George Stephanopoulos this morning, and I thought it was kind of a fun exchange.
	Because Scott, Scott Besson, he can get in people's faces.
	Have you noticed this?
	He does it with his own style.
	He's a stylizer.
	Or stylist.
	He does it very, he's very calm.
	He's a stylist.
	He's a stylist in more ways than one.
	And he's quite calm and he's sharp-witted.
	And yeah, I think I like Rubio style the best.
	Yes, yeah, but Rubio wasn't on the morning shows.
	No, Rubio's been out of the picture for a while for some reason.
	And for sure, while he's going to.
	Oh, well, while you're talking about that, the stands are back in the picture.
	The stands.
	Yeah, the stands.
	Stands?
	Yeah, the stands.
	Kazakhstan, Tajikistan.
	The stands.
	And this is a great little clip.
	Several issues were on the table at the summit between U.S. and several Central Asian heads of state.
	Among them, rare earth minerals, the sale of Boeing airplanes, and the Abraham Accords.
	U.S. President Donald Trump announced soon after that Kazakhstan, the largest country in the region, would join them.
	This evening, I'm also delighted to report that Kazakhstan has officially agreed.
	What country, Mr. President?
	Kazakhstan, dude.
	You heard me.
	Kazakhstan is joining in.
	Delighted to report that Kazakhstan has officially agreed, and that's official now, as of about 15 minutes ago.
	A tremendous country with a tremendous leader has officially joined the Abraham Accords.
	At first glance, the move seems hollow.
	Kazakhstan has had diplomatic relations with Israel for decades.
	A contrast to countries such as Morocco and Bahrain that only opened them up as part of the accords.
	For his part, the Kazakh president said that before the summit, such cooperation would yield economic dividends.
	After the meeting, he expressed his willingness to maintain strong relations with Washington.
	My political will to seize all those unique opportunities.
	I have no doubts that we have a very bright future as it comes to our bilateral copper.
	Could also be that Central Asian countries in the meeting, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Kyrgyzstan, in addition to their abundance of rare earth minerals, are sandwiched in between Russia and China, and the U.S. is vying for favor over its adversaries.
	U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced visits to those countries in 2026.
	Rubio's going to the stands.
	Oh, he should go to the newest stand.
	What's the newest stand?
	New Yorkistan.
	New Yorkistan.
	I had a boots on the ground report from WABC, I think.
	Let me see.
	Yes, ABC New York.
	This is the voters boots on the ground in Astoria, Queens.
	This is Mamdani's home turf.
	It looked like a New Year's Eve party, but this was an election night celebration.
	This is citizen app video of overjoyed Zorhan Mamdani supporters who filled 24th Avenue in Astoria last night to mark the historic results of a groundbreaking victory.
	Young voters energized by the campaign promises of a 34-year-old Muslim state assemblyman born in Uganda hit the streets to mark the dawn of a new era.
	That's great.
	We've got to remember that rundown.
	Hold on, let me hear it again.
	Young voters energized by the campaign promises of a 34-year-old Muslim state assemblyman born in Uganda hit the streets to mark the dawn of a new era in New York City politics.
	I think that it's really amazing that we have like a movement that everyone was excited about that was able to prevail over something that we were all really worried about.
	Mamdani supporters crowded the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden to watch the election night returns.
	Returns that quickly confirm what pre-election polls reveal time and time again.
	A sizable lead for the frontrunner who saw winning projections about an hour after the polls closed.
	In Momdani's home district this morning, the excitement and energy of last night's epic win looms large.
	Astoria resident Hannah Lieberman is also a small business owner.
	I really like that he wasn't bought by anyone.
	I think like those kinds of grassroots campaigns were so inspiring and what we need.
	I mean, I think the big thing is having better access to housing, expanding the ability, the availability of housing and some of the rent control that they can pursue.
	Affordability, Mr. President.
	Affordability.
	That's what did it.
	So we got a note from one of our more famous executive producers.
	Oh, that one.
	In the business, Brunetti.
	Yeah.
	Oh, that guy.
	Yes.
	So a subject, Mira Nar Nair, N-A-I-R, Mira Nair.
	Mira Nair?
	Mira Nair?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	You know who she is?
	No.
	She is the famous Hollywood director who's Brunetti, who's Mamdani's mom.
	And he writes this note.
	Haven't heard much in the press about her or mention of her on the show.
	Okay.
	No.
	I noticed that too.
	She's a sought-after director after Monsoon wedding.
	Don't know what the angle is, but there seems to be something here considering it's not getting much, if any, play.
	If anything, maybe that's why Mamdani is good with his TikTok videos, question mark.
	Not saying she has anything to do with making them, but maybe.
	Just odd that she hasn't been made.
	Just odd, more hasn't been made of her being his mom or the lack of attention to it, especially everyone seems to be love everything Hollywood.
	Now, so I went back and looked at his videos, the really good ones, like the Valentine's Day one and when he's on the street.
	Two things I noticed.
	One, he uses a Hollywood movie style microphone.
	He doesn't use a normal microphone.
	This is equipment gear from, you know, they're extended.
	They're like a shotgun mic.
	They're used.
	People hold them underneath the actor.
	Wait a minute.
	What you're saying?
	He's not using a DGI mic with a big fuzzy thing on it.
	He's not using a DGI mic.
	He's not using any normal mic that you would use if you were doing Man on the Street stuff.
	It's a Hollywood movie mic that nobody uses.
	So it's gear.
	And if you watch his videos, there are three and four camera shoots.
	They're beautifully edited.
	Overlays and all kinds of fade-ins, fade-outs.
	It's slick.
	It looks like the old TV show Homicide, Life on the Streets.
	The shaky cam comes and goes.
	And there's a shot of him talking to somebody with the camera crew, part of the camera crew behind him.
	And you see two people next to each other.
	One guy with extremely high-end gear and another woman right next to him filming with an iPhone next to each other.
	So you can intersperse their slick look with the shaky cam look or with the iPhone look.
	And you go back and you look at these and think of them as being produced by Hollywood.
	You go, oh yeah, duh.
	And so this was rigged.
	This was people were scammed.
	Scammed.
	It's not rigged.
	That's great.
	That's smart.
	Oh, it is great.
	I mean, if you look back on it as professionally done, they are slick, but it's a scam.
	People have gotten taken to the cleaners in New York by this guy and his mom.
	She's been.
	Hold on a second.
	You mean Hollywood style production has convinced people of something, has tricked people?
	You don't say.
	I know.
	I was stunned.
	Stunned.
	Shocked.
	Well, shocked, I said.
	Clearly, clearly, Brunetti should have been producing Andrew Cuomo's videos.
	What a misser.
	Cuomo did have some videos that came out at the end that were all done by AI.
	His AI videos were pretty funny.
	Yeah, they were pretty funny.
	His AI videos.
	They were very funny, but it was a little too little, too late.
	But Cuomo has no personality.
	And what the first lady said, the first nose ring said, is exactly what went down.
	Well, at least there's someone we could get behind.
	He's our age.
	He's, you know, it's not really something, something rent freeze.
	Okay, whatever.
	Something, something free.
	Something, something free.
	Something something free.
	Something, something, something free.
	Fast buses.
	Yeah, something free.
	And he's young.
	He's attractive.
	He's got cool videos.
	And then they've got the sex accused, you know, the guy accused of sexual abuse.
	Creepy, creepy old guy.
	That's what it was.
	There was just no candidates.
	No candidates.
	Well, they had plenty of opportunities to bring up candidates.
	The Republicans gave up on the city.
	Well, you can't blame them.
	And then the Democrats had a bunch of stiffs.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And so this kid comes in with his professional videos.
	Even Sliva.
	I mean, man, the amount of archive footage.
	But it's still, it's not what people, people don't want to see.
	Guys coming in, kicking ass, cleaning up the subways.
	No, they want free.
	That's just the, that's the, that's what these millennials want.
	Free.
	I can't afford to live here.
	Have you considered moving somewhere else?
	No, I want to live in New York.
	I want to live here.
	We've got bodego to pay for it.
	We've got bodegas.
	Yeah.
	I am, I'm telling you, I'm very much looking forward to the day when daughter number three says, ah, I'm a little short this month.
	I'm like, call your boy at City Hall, Mom Domi.
	Call him.
	Yeah, she voted for him.
	She definitely did.
	Yeah.
	She was.
	But who else is she going to vote for?
	She was sending us memes.
	I love her dearly.
	And we can have our disagreements.
	That's what I love so much about her.
	She doesn't go all nuclear.
	She's just grown up in that regard.
	She sent, it was a meme.
	It was like a pride flag shaped like a gun pointing at someone's.
	I think it was, was it maybe even a Trump head?
	Let me see.
	No.
	So it was an arm.
	I should send this to you for the newsletter.
	It was an arm with a gun pointed at a black silhouetted head, not looking like anybody that had really, who's bent forward.
	So the gun's at the back of the head and it's pride colors and says, now put the pronouns back in email.
	And this is exactly what they care about.
	Yeah, I had a, oh man, I didn't get that clip.
	Another one I passed on of some TikToker going nuts about how great it is that woke is back.
	I don't know if you saw that one.
	No, no, no.
	Gee, it didn't hit my news feed.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Let's go to Besson because Besson's a grown-up and he's funny and he's sparring with Stephanopoulos and throwing stuff in his face.
	It was cute.
	And we were joined now by the Treasury Secretary Scott Besson.
	Mr. Besson, thank you for joining us this morning.
	We've just heard.
	Before you play this, hold on.
	You know, I'm surprised that Stephanopoulos is a little more humorful and quick-witted and has funny material because you know he's married to a comedian.
	I did not know this.
	Who is she?
	Oh, I can't remember her name.
	Who is he?
	I'm sorry.
	I messed up the punchline.
	That would have been funny.
	Yeah, you're right.
	You blew it.
	We can, you know, we can do it in post.
	Yeah.
	So I can't remember her name, but she used to be on a lot of stuff.
	She's mostly a skit comic.
	And her name is Allie Wentworth.
	Yeah, Allie Wentworth.
	Yeah.
	Hmm.
	What is she?
	And she's very, like all female comedians, she must be tough at the dinner table insofar as having the one-liner, the retort.
	Wow, she's a little bit more.
	And you'd think he'd pick up something.
	She was on in Living Color, which was one of the actresses.
	Wow.
	She did impressions of Cher, Amy Fisher, Hillary Clinton, Princess Diana, Brooke Shields, Sharon Stone.
	Huh.
	It's interesting.
	She has one of those cute faces, but because she's a comedian, every picture makes her look odd.
	You know, she has to make a face.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	They met on a blind date in 2001.
	Yeah.
	It's Mary Stephanopoulos.
	She must have been blind.
	November.
	Yeah, there it is.
	You got one in.
	You got one in.
	Hold on.
	I'm back.
	I'm back, everybody.
	Blindly.
	Back to Besson.
	And we were joined now by the Treasury Secretary Scott Besson.
	Mr. Besson, thank you for joining us this morning.
	We've just heard about all these impacts from the government shutdown right now.
	Are we starting to see a permanent impact on the economy?
	Sure, George.
	And good to be with you.
	He's already got something ready.
	You know, good to be with you.
	And, you know, it's possible that that tough at the dinner table that he and what's her name?
	I forgot her name already.
	Wentworth.
	Wentworth.
	Allie Wentworth.
	They're like, you got to get this Besson.
	You got to get him.
	You got to get him good.
	I'll get you some one liners.
	But Besson came prepared.
	We've seen an impact on the economy from day one, but it's getting worse and worse.
	We had a fantastic economy under President Trump the past two quarters, and now there are estimates that the economy, economic growth for this quarter could be cut by as much as half if the shutdown continues.
	And what your correspondent didn't talk about there, George, was there's, of course, the human cost, and we're going to have the busiest travel day of the year, the day after Thanksgiving.
	And Americans should look to five Democratic senators to come across the aisle to open that.
	But on the other side, there's also cargo is being slowed down.
	So, you know, we could end up with shortages, whether it's in our supply chains, whether it's for the holidays.
	So, you know, cargo and people are both being slowed down here.
	And that's for safety's sake, George.
	Okay, so he kept his powder dry.
	President continues to post about ending the filibuster.
	Is that the best way to end the shutdown right now?
	Is that what the administration's position is?
	No, George, the best way to do it, and look, you were involved in a lot of these in the 90s.
	And you basically called the Republicans terrorists.
	And you said that it is not the responsible party that keeps the government closed.
	Wow.
	Oh, wait, it gets better.
	It gets better.
	And so what we need is five brave, moderate Democratic senators to cross the aisle because right now it is 52 to three, 52 to three.
	Five Democrats can cross the aisle and reopen the government.
	That's the best way to do it, George.
	I can disagree with you about the history there, but we don't need a history lesson right now.
	George, if you talk about it, let's talk about what's happening right now.
	If you want, I have all your quotes here.
	I've got all your quotes here.
	I am sure.
	I'm sure you do.
	And I went back to the situation.
	I just read your book.
	So you got one purchase on Amazon this week, and that's very much what you said.
	The best way is for five Democratic senators to come across the aisle.
	What are we on vote 13, 14, 15?
	Mike Johnson got the reopening out of the House very quickly.
	And what's changed since the spring, George, is Chuck Schumer's poll numbers.
	He had a clean, continuing resolution in the spring.
	And why are Democrats doing this now, George?
	Again, you've been involved with this.
	Explain what's changed.
	Senator Chris Murphy gave the game away this week when he said, well, now it's our advantage to keep the government closed.
	They have turned the American people into pawns.
	I feel that Besant is really running the tables on Stephanopoulos with this one.
	You know, pulling up his books, saying this, well, you said when you called the Republicans terrorists.
	Yeah, Stepanophilus is not very good at defending himself.
	He starts to stumbles, he fumbles, he stutters, he tries to push back.
	He doesn't take, he never takes the guy on.
	No.
	No.
	If he was any good, he would say, yes, in the past, I have said that you're correct.
	In fact, you can quote me if you want.
	But the way I see it now, it's different.
	No, you should.
	And that's all you have to say.
	You should just say, what I just said is all you have to say.
	And then the guy with the best report, because Besson obviously had this rehearsed, the best he could say was, well, what's different about it?
	And then if Stephanophilos was keeping up, he said, there's a lot different about it.
	It's a different circumstance.
	They pulled the plug with a very, there's a pushback against the big, beautiful bill, which was something they didn't want.
	And then he could start to bore him with bull crap.
	And then Bessett would have to back off.
	Bessett could lose this.
	But no, he knows that Stepanopoulos is lousy.
	All he could have had to say was, I saw a bird today.
	And it would have been six.
	The president has also come forward with a new proposal overnight saying it's time instead to do away with Obamacare instead to have the money go directly to the people.
	Do you have a formal proposal to do that?
	We don't have a formal proposal, but what I have noticed over time is that the Democrats give all these bills the Orwellian names, the Affordable Care Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, Patriot Act, Republicans.
	And we end up with just the opposite.
	The Affordable Care Act has become unaffordable, and the Inflation Reduction Act set off the greatest inflation in 50 years.
	He was well prepared for this.
	Well, I'm a little confused because the president has been posting about that overnight and into this morning, but you're not proposing that to the Senate right now.
	We're not proposing it to the Senate right now.
	No.
	Then why is the president posting about it?
	Because he's trolling you, George.
	George, the president's posting about it, but again, we have got to get the government reopened before we do this.
	We are not going to negotiate with the Democrats until they reopen the government.
	It's very simple.
	Reopen the government, then we can have a discussion.
	By the way, the word around town on the shutdown.
	And when I say the word around town, you know what I'm talking about.
	Yeah?
	90 days.
	What?
	90 days.
	Okay, so that's good news.
	That means it won't be 90 days.
	That's funny because that's the first thing I said.
	Oh, well, it'll be over next week then.
	Yeah, that's the word around town.
	That's the whisper number.
	Oh, no.
	And it goes like this.
	Yeah, it's going to be the Trump's going to keep it shut down for 90 days so he can really find out what we really need to pay and get rid of all the other stuff we don't need to pay for.
	The problem, of course, with the 90 days theory is that that's way past Thanksgiving.
	People, even though the comedians' joke of the day, all of them are using the same line.
	Bill Maury even used it on his monologue, which is that, oh, Thanksgiving, they're not going to be able to travel, so we won't have to see our lousy relatives.
	This is good news, not bad news.
	Oh, yeah, okay.
	So that's the joke.
	And he, the fact is that there's enough weak-knee Democrats that are moderates that are going to be worried and are going to have to, because they're going to take it up to 20%.
	And like you said, which has not been discussed, the fact is you can't just knock it down 10 or 20% without causing scheduling issues across the board, making things terrible.
	Oh, it's going to be horrible.
	So might as well shut down the whole system.
	And by the way, that shuts down cargo.
	It shuts down Amazon.
	It shuts down every skip.
	Hey, and explain this to me just while we're on the topic.
	So our UPS guy, I know all our people.
	I know our mail carrier.
	I know the UPS guy.
	I know them all because it's the same people.
	So he drops off a package for Tina.
	And he's got another guy with him with like an orange vest on.
	All he missed was a hard hat and a clipboard.
	I'm like, what is this going on?
	He rings the bell.
	Hey, how are you doing, UPS guy?
	He said, hey, good.
	Yeah.
	Just want to introduce you to this guy.
	For the holidays, we have a lot of civilians.
	That's funny.
	He said, civilians.
	He said civilians.
	He said civilians.
	Yeah.
	Well, that means he won't have the full uniform, but he'll have the vest on.
	And I saw the vest had an orange reflective vest that had UPS on it.
	He said, and they'll just be in there.
	So basically, a DoorDash guy.
	It was an older gentleman.
	He actually had his head bowed a little bit.
	I was like, hey, hey, civilian.
	How you doing?
	Hey, civilian, how you doing?
	I shook his hand.
	He said, yeah, I just want you to know that, you know, so if you see someone with a regular car driving up, you don't get freaked out.
	You have to say that in Texas because we come out guns blazing, dogs loose.
	And I just thought it was interesting.
	Didn't they fire like 30,000 people and now they're hiring civilians to jump in for the Christmas rush?
	I don't know what's going.
	Okay.
	Anyway, final clip from Besant.
	I'm skipping over everything.
	And now we go to the dividend.
	Everybody gets money.
	Do you have a proposal, a formal proposal to give a $2,000 dividend to every American?
	I haven't spoken to the president about this yet, but the $2,000 dividend could come in lots of forms and lots of ways, George.
	It could be just the tax decreases that we are seeing on the president's agenda.
	No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, deductibility of auto loans.
	So those are substantial deductions that are being financed in the tax bill.
	I want a check.
	Oh, that's chicken.
	That's exactly what he said.
	He gave it away.
	You're not getting a check.
	That's what you're getting.
	Yeah.
	I want a check.
	You're getting a deduction on your loan for your car.
	Good.
	I want a check with President Trump's face on it and his signature, happy smiling.
	Here you go, citizen.
	Here's $2,000.
	That's what I want.
	Good promotion.
	Well, that's what he should be doing.
	You know, because we're taking in billions and trillions and gazillions of money.
	So anyway, I sincerely hope, because you're right.
	A lot of our producers work in government.
	And I have to say, most of them are pretty upbeat still because, of course, they're no agenda listeners and they were prepared.
	They saved some money because they, huh, this is probably going to happen somewhere down the road.
	So they made sure they had contingency to run this when this happened.
	But it's hurting a lot of people.
	It's getting real now.
	And boy, by this coming Friday, when we're up to 10%, I think you're pretty much going to see passenger travel at a standstill.
	You know, you did the right thing by not traveling.
	Yeah.
	We canceled our vacation.
	And Tina's immediately like, oh, we can do this.
	We can go here.
	We can go there.
	I need a new MacBook.
	Like, what?
	What?
	She doesn't need to.
	Take a vacation.
	I got an idea.
	Yeah.
	Take a vacation in Dallas.
	Dallas is a great town.
	We actually have discussed that about going up to Dallas because Dallas has this new, no, what was it called?
	How far is it to drive to Dallas for you?
	Five hours.
	About five hours.
	That's not that bad.
	It's like me going to Reno.
	I'm trying to think the name of this.
	They have this new thing called COSM, COSM Dallas, C-O-S-M.com.
	And well, you can see sports games there.
	It's kind of like a miniature sphere in Vegas, only it's much smaller.
	It's for a couple hundred people.
	And you can see, they have a couple of movies that you can see and they have games.
	I think The Matrix is playing.
	They have a special version of it.
	It's a complete immersive experience.
	And with the games, I'm not, as you know, not a sports ball guy, but man, I mean, Have you literally sitting on the 50-yard line and then it switches and the whole thing swivels around and then you're behind the goalposts and then you're in an I'm looking at it now.
	It's super cool.
	My buddy Vic told me about this.
	I'm like, wow.
	You should go to this.
	I might go to it.
	We might go.
	There's a couple great hotels in Dallas you could spend the night.
	Yeah, I could.
	Yeah, and there's some good restaurants in Dallas.
	Yes.
	The only problem with Dallas, in my opinion, is the people that live there.
	No, they're fun to watch.
	They got high hair.
	They're arrogant.
	They think that Dallas is the greatest place in the world.
	They wouldn't live anyplace else ever.
	It wouldn't even consider it.
	Yeah.
	They're self-absorbed.
	A lot of pretty girls, and they're all self-absorbed, and they're all Dallas girls.
	What I've always liked about Dallas, you go in the restaurant, it's much more.
	I mean, we're white.
	We're a white town.
	You go to Dallas.
	There's just all kinds of good-looking people of all colors.
	You immediately realize, wow, we live in a really white town in Fredericksburg.
	It's enjoyable.
	And I got friends up there.
	So you're right.
	Maybe we will do that.
	We might.
	I'll have a boots on the ground from Dallas.
	Woo!
	Yeah.
	Hey, with that, I want to thank you for your courage.
	Say in the morning to you, the man who put President Trump's picture on the $2,000 check.
	Say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. Davore.
	Yeah, in the morning, you'll be on current.
	In the morning, I'll ship C-blastography in the air seven of the names of nights out there.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room, stop.
	Walk out.
	Walk out when they come 1930.
	Still a little bit low, but we're crawling back.
	We had a lot of DNS issues and stuff for a while there.
	And I think a lot of people go, oh, oh, I'm just going to give up.
	Just going to give up.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it happens.
	Mimi's complained a couple of times about right in the middle of the show, it goes to a different show and then comes back.
	Well, that's a network issue.
	It's amazing any of this stuff works at all, man.
	I'm really, I know I always say that when I say it, she says, you're right.
	Yeah.
	When you remind people of that and say, remember when you used to call me from a room?
	Hey, we're doing this over the internet.
	I'm in California.
	He's in Texas.
	We don't have much latency.
	If any?
	Almost none.
	No, not with the system we're using.
	And we have a, and it works.
	It works.
	Do you remember?
	Did you do it for three hours or plus?
	Well, actually, more than three hours, unfortunately, but it was just long.
	Uninterrupted.
	Yak, yak.
	Yak, yak, yak.
	And, and, and I, fidelity's good.
	I used to have a whole 19-inch rack filled with gear and wires and patch cables.
	And now it's just one box.
	It's got it all in there.
	The same names.
	I used to have 19-inch rack thing.
	Amphex.
	Yeah.
	Amphex.
	Aphex.
	I'm sorry.
	Aphex used to have the big bottom.
	Yeah.
	Just right.
	The aphex big bottom.
	I still have the big bottom 19 inches.
	I have the big bottom.
	I have one of them in the class.
	We got big bottoms.
	Yes.
	I had my Warsanus sound processor.
	I mean, all kinds of stuff we did.
	And now, I mean, it's amazing.
	It's amazing.
	I remember back in the day.
	What do you remember there, Jeb?
	Back in the mid-90s when I had Think New Ideas, my company.
	We were going all over the country.
	And I mean, then you didn't have Zoom.
	You needed to pitch something to Budweiser, Anheuser-Busch.
	You went to St. Louis.
	You got on a plane.
	Granted, there was no TSA.
	You just walked to the gate.
	It was fine.
	You got to go through that little metal, a couple of ladies standing there with wands.
	Let me wand you.
	Okay.
	You threw your keys in the little box.
	Okay, fine.
	Yep.
	Yeah, I wand you.
	And then you just walk to the gate.
	But you need to do a pitch.
	You had to fly places.
	And now we just do Zoom.
	Zoom, baby.
	Just Zoom.
	You do a pitch on Zoom.
	It's fantastic.
	So this is when Christina was four or five years old.
	And I got one of the first video telephones.
	Man, I wish I still had it.
	And I don't even remember what it was, what brand it was, but it was a white phone.
	It had a receiver.
	I pick up the receiver, you know, push buttons to call.
	And it had a little screen on it, which would tilt up.
	And then you'd connect to the phone on the other end.
	And then you'd get like one frame per every three seconds.
	Like, hey, it's that at the now.
	It's just, now it's just a FaceTime right from the palm of your hand.
	And people don't realize.
	This is amazing.
	Now you want a song.
	You just say, give me a song.
	Your phone gives you a song.
	Or you say, hey, make me some art.
	Now, strangely enough, you still have to have some funny in you to tell the computer what to do, but at least you can do it.
	Hey, just give me some art.
	That's the world we live in.
	Appreciate it.
	You know, I was looking, this is your bonus content.
	I was looking at the cost of running my own AI model at home because the biggest problem with, you know, as we discussed on the last episode, is getting consistency.
	So if I wanted to clone my voice and have it consistently sound the same after some tweaking of the model and training, you can do that, but not when you're in a cloud type scenario where you might be hitting another machine or literally the temperature changes in the data center.
	I mean, there's all kinds of variables that make it impossible for these cloud-based AI models to consistently deliver you the same results.
	I mean, you can type in the same prompt.
	You'll get something different every single time.
	Yeah, you will.
	And now I've been watching a lot of these YouTubers, and they've got, they've got huge NVIDIA stacks.
	They're doing comparisons with the top end NVIDIA GPU and the MacG, what is it, the M4 Super Pro, which has 512 gigs of RAM, which you can use for either CPU or GPU.
	And the results are very similar to what you get out of ChatGPT or Grok.
	The cost, $10,000 to $15,000.
	That's actually not that bad.
	I know, but is that what this is costing?
	Like to have Adam vibe code at home, are they running like a $10,000 install for me?
	Yeah.
	No wonder they're going, they're going out.
	I mean, well, they're not going broke.
	They're not going broke.
	That's the joke of it.
	Yeah, because people keep shoveling money in.
	Yeah.
	It's a Ponzi scheme.
	It's amazing.
	It's a Ponzi scheme.
	They always work.
	Well, until they don't.
	Until they don't.
	Until they don't.
	Yeah.
	Well, and I see there's a big discussion now about, well, Sam Altman is basically saying we're too big to fail.
	So, you know, if NVIDIA, well, NVIDIA is okay, but if ChatG, if OpenAI starts to stumble, can't get money, then maybe just go to the government and say, well, you know, Mr. Trump and Mr. President, this is, you know, we're in a race.
	Yeah, the problem with that theory is simple.
	Elon Musk because Elon Musk has got Trump's here.
	Trump is going to say, What do you think about these guys too big to fail?
	Elon Musk has a feud with the chat GPT guys.
	They're going to say, No, let him sink.
	Who cares?
	Here's the bonus clip since we're talking about him.
	Love him or hate him.
	Elon Musk boldly goes where others don't dare in space, inserting himself into politics and social media with his takeover and rebrand of Twitter as X. He's had just as many failures as he has had successes.
	His latest success, convincing 75% of Tesla shareholders to approve a record $1 trillion pay package.
	$1 million is a big pile of cash, the equivalent of nearly a century of work for the average human.
	$1 billion is a hefty pile, and the number of stars in our Milky Way galaxy.
	$1 trillion, one with 12 zeros.
	Think of it as row upon row of bills filling a football field completely.
	The monster payout is contingent on Tesla's autonomous vehicles, robo-taxis, and humanoid robots, all seeing incredible success.
	Profit needs to skyrocket along with Tesla stock.
	The fact that one in four shareholders wanted to go in another direction, I think, is telling.
	There was some concern that Elon Musk might quit as CEO if he didn't get what he wanted.
	An endorsement of Elon's ability to steer the EV maker, even a sales and profit tumble.
	It was a referendum on the very future of technology.
	A vote of confidence in Musk's vision for the future of robotics and AI.
	Analysts say this record compensation sets a precedent, pushing other tech CEOs to ask for more.
	The deal was so controversial that even the Pope weighed in, voicing concern about rising income inequality at a time when many warned the AI bubble could come crashing down.
	Yeah.
	What a publicity stunt.
	That's great.
	He's not getting a nickel.
	And this guy, oh, by the way, the word, if you hear the word, there's two words I always look at as code.
	Telling.
	Oh, it's telling.
	It's telling.
	It's telling.
	Telling.
	It's code for your left winger.
	Chilling is another one.
	If you see that, anyone using it, oh, it's chilling.
	Oh, what he did was chilling.
	Left-wing code.
	These are communists.
	You know, increasingly, good Texas boys, good friends of mine who drive trucks, trucks, like a periodontist, a dentist.
	These are good friends of mine.
	Born and raised in tech, one in El Paso, one here in Fredericksburg, sixth-generation Fredericksburg German.
	He lives on the compound with the family, 400-acre ranch, buying Teslas.
	And they're kind of like, oh, yeah, no, I bought a Tesla.
	I'm like, what?
	What?
	Are you a communist?
	What are you doing?
	Said, you're buying battery cars.
	And they say, yeah, I got to admit, I just really like being able to drink that extra beer and have the car drive me home.
	These things are outrageous.
	They do indeed drive you complete self-drive, no hands on the wheel, no touching it every 30 seconds.
	They drive you all the way home.
	It is compelling, I have to say.
	What?
	Are you going to get one so you can have a beer?
	No.
	How about this for an idea?
	Don't drink and drive.
	Hello?
	I think it's cheaper to get a driver.
	That's my like, why don't you?
	Yeah, and those Teslas are expensive.
	Yeah.
	Once you get a guy with a hat to drive you, that's cheaper.
	I got Robert.
	Garage blows up.
	You'll know the reason why.
	I'm just, I'm just amazed.
	I'm amazed.
	Well, you know, Elon Musk is now saying, oh, the next Tesla might fly.
	If he builds a car that flies, I'm in.
	Yeah, okay.
	He said this about what you were referring to there as the Roadster 2.
	The Roadster 2, yes.
	Which some people have already put their down payment on for 200 grand or whatever it is.
	And yes, he made that.
	This guy is a master of promotion.
	Oh, yeah.
	And, you know, he's seen as an industrialist and all these other things, and he's smart.
	He's not a dumb guy.
	But his real skill is in promotion, and he does it like falling off a log.
	It's so easy for him.
	The trillion-dollar deal and gets the Pope to say something.
	Give me a bro.
	What's the Pope got to do with it?
	I would love the Pope to say, what is up with this podcast?
	There's on no agenda.
	This is this is, please, Pope, please.
	Please.
	I beg of you, say that.
	Yeah.
	No, he is a master.
	There's so many flying car scams out there.
	And yeah, sure, they'll fly for 20 minutes.
	You can't go to the electric because it's compounded by the fact that he's electric only.
	Yeah.
	This is the thing if it gets in the air.
	I mean, maybe you can fly over a traffic jam and land again and get back on the road.
	Maybe that would do it.
	And you always have when these Tesla guys said, did you go to Dallas and your Tesla?
	Yeah, I did.
	How did it go?
	It went great.
	I said, did you have coffee?
	Yeah, I love, you know, we had like, you know, 30 minutes of coffee break.
	Oh, because you were charging.
	Brunetti drove his cyber truck to Hollywood.
	Yeah, he must have stopped along the way.
	Yeah, he has a long story.
	He did a couple of times, and apparently they have it set up.
	The truck itself sets you up so you can have these short stops along the way.
	The navigator tells you 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there, 10 minutes there.
	Like a douche.
	Listen, get Alex.
	Get yourself a Corvette.
	You know, maybe a maybe get a 67, you know, cool-looking one.
	Actually, the newest Corvettes are the coolest looking ones.
	The mid-engines.
	The brand new ones.
	Yeah, the mid-engines.
	They're beautiful.
	They're just gorgeous.
	But I'm talking to a movie guy, a Hollywood guy.
	Get yourself a 67 Corvette red with that white panel on the side and have her put it on.
	So you're thinking 57 with the white panels.
	I'm sorry, 57.
	You're right.
	Get a scarf for Alex.
	You know, her head's in a scarf.
	Her scarf is flying.
	You've got your shades on.
	James Darling.
	Do you mean her scarf gets caught in the wheels and she has her head off?
	A lot of publicity.
	Well, that is true.
	That would be good for his next movie.
	Hollywood producer, wife, killed in free cash.
	Killed in the Corvette.
	In the Corvette.
	But that's romantic.
	Driving that ugly box and stopping 10 minutes everywhere along the road, that is the antithesis of America, my friend.
	That is not who we are.
	You tell him.
	I'm going to tell him.
	I may take a vacation out to the ranch.
	But, you know, if I drove my buddy's Tesla, it would take me three weeks.
	It'd take you three weeks to get there.
	All right.
	So back to the AI.
	Of course, this is a value for value podcast.
	And I do want to mention that you probably want to try out one of those modern podcast apps.
	Podcast Guru is my daily driver.
	I really love it.
	Just as one of them, you can find it podcastapps.com.
	And there's great strides being made.
	They're doing more with value for value now.
	Strides, it's called strides.
	Strides.
	Strides.
	It's strides.
	It's value for value.
	You can boost us.
	You can boost right into the show and shows up through Stripe.
	You can leave a message even that should work.
	We'll get the money.
	Maybe the message.
	Send us an email to make sure.
	And it's groovy.
	So get one of those.
	Don't buy a Tesla.
	Boost the show.
	And value for value, V4V, also known as vaccines for vegans, but we say value for value.
	That means whatever value you get out of the show, just send it back to us.
	You can do it with time, talent, or treasure.
	Now, the talent, we do have a lot of talented people.
	In fact, the artwork for episode 1814.
	Hold on a second.
	Let me get my NAShowNotes.com.
	We titled that Needle Drop, which a lot of people thought was very funny.
	And I explained for 20 minutes what that was.
	And I think some people appreciated it because they didn't know what needle drop was or taping your spouse as a boundary violation.
	Who knows what taping is anymore?
	Yeah, that's true.
	Now, by the way, the needle drop thing came up at the dinner conversation.
	And when you said, the first thing that came up was like, oh, it's so silent you could hear a needle drop.
	Oh, interesting.
	But that's pin.
	That's a pin drop.
	Yeah, I realize it's a pin.
	That's what the saying is, but that's the first thing that came to mind.
	Really?
	They didn't think about a vinyl disc?
	Not immediately.
	Well, actually, then they once I explained it, they'd say, oh, yeah, that's what we were thinking.
	It needed explaining.
	That's the point.
	Right there.
	Needed explaining.
	So the artwork, which is always very important, NoAgenda, artgenerator.com is where you can upload all of your AI slop came to us from Nessworks, a real artist.
	And this was an artist at work.
	I don't know what tools he used, but this GigaChad with the vinyl and then the C prompt go to toe tapper.
	The way the robot GigaChad was positioned in front of the No Agenda letters.
	This is high quality work here.
	I don't think this was 100% AI.
	Do you?
	No, not at all.
	In fact, it may be zero.
	There's no way that AI could even come close to this.
	For one thing, that thing at the top, go to toe tapper.
	AI is never going to produce that.
	It'd be misspelled.
	By the way, getmodejams.com, everybody.
	It's up and running.
	GetmodoJams.com.
	All your AI slop all the time.
	24-7, end of show mixes, AI slop.
	Soon it will be the place to get your AI music.
	So GoToToe Tapper was perfect.
	That was the deal clincher right there.
	Yeah.
	That was perfect.
	And Nessworks, thank you.
	Thank you, brother.
	Good job.
	Let me just see.
	What else was there that we looked at at the generator?
	Let's take a quick little.
	I like the piece next to it, the slop thing from Coach Joe, but it was not going to be used because you couldn't read anything on it.
	But I thought it was a cute piece.
	We didn't talk about it.
	I used the dawn of a better day from Jeffree Ray.
	Yeah.
	Which one the newsletter?
	With the New York or with the Sunrise?
	The New York with the Sunrise in the back.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It was very orange, of course.
	It's Jeffree Ray, you know.
	If you see orange, you don't think Trump's.
	It wasn't that bad.
	It didn't bother me so much.
	Even the letters are orange.
	This should be white.
	Jeffree Ray also did the Tucker 2, and the letters are white.
	He's actually got white in there somehow.
	Yeah, but look how washed out that thing is.
	What, Tucker 2?
	Tucker 2.
	It's washed out.
	Oh, God.
	It doesn't look washed out to me.
	That might be you.
	We obviously have to remind people that you're colorblind.
	That's washed up.
	That's not washed out.
	It's washed up.
	It's not washed out.
	You have to understand.
	That's the email I get at least once a day.
	You washed up VJ.
	Luckily, Mossad is paying the bills.
	You should say, yes, I shower daily.
	Luckily, Mossad is paying the bills.
	We're all good.
	Yeah, they're not paying the bills.
	You're not good.
	In fact, man, we got where's our intelligence money?
	We haven't seen that for a while.
	No, no, I don't know.
	Well, they're all furloughed.
	No, oh, yeah, they're probably all.
	Yeah, that's probably the problem.
	That's the problem.
	So keep trying, everybody.
	Once again, it still takes creative thoughts, good ideas.
	I don't care what tool you use.
	Good ideas result in good product.
	And there were some, there weren't a lot of good ideas, honestly.
	Just a few.
	No, this piece won't.
	Hands down, hands down.
	So now we go to the treasure portion of our value for value model.
	This is where we thank everybody, $50 and above.
	So we're very transparent.
	Can't get more transparent than that.
	And we tell you exactly who sent it to us.
	And we have a special segment for those fortunate enough to be able to send us $200 or more.
	In that case, we'll thank you, of course.
	We'll read your note as a thanks.
	And we will also give you an official Hollywood title.
	You too can be just like Brunetti and be an associate executive producer of the best podcast in the universe.
	Now, you can't be Brunetti because if you're $300 or more, you become an executive producer.
	That's a much bigger deal than Brunetti.
	And you can even stand next to him proudly at imdb.com.
	And we will read your note.
	So, right off the bat, saving, saving our bacon, literally saving our bacon, is Sir Kevin, Keeper of the SPI, which I think is his dog, from Portland, Oregon.
	He comes in with a Rubilizer boost.
	India, Daniel, Mike, stand by.
	33, 33, 33.
	Rubilizer out.
	That's right.
	He comes in with $3,333.34, which is one extra penny, which let me see what he says here.
	ITM good sirs with this Rubilizer donation duly modified by one penny.
	There it is, one penny to observe all proper and official customs.
	I would like to hereby be known as Sir Kevin, Keeper of the SPIE, Secretary General, and Duke of Portland.
	You got it.
	Title change, everything all set.
	And he also gets an International Peace Prize.
	With your blessings, as always, long liveth payments sent by what is this squeer squat?
	What does it say here, John?
	Oh, you have to look at it.
	Long liveth payments sent by.
	Let me look.
	Long liveth payment by Squirk by Squire, it says.
	Squire.
	Okay.
	Long liveth notes of brevity.
	Oh, yes.
	And long liveth no agenda, your humble servant producer, Sir Kevin, keeper of the speech.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, Sir Kevin.
	Really appreciate it.
	This was needed, as you'll hear.
	Short, well, it would have been a short donation segment if some people hadn't sent in long notes.
	I will say that he sent this in a while back, 1031.
	Notice the date.
	Oh, yes.
	What is up with that?
	Well, it's been good back and forth.
	How come this hasn't shown up?
	He's wanted this to show up forever.
	So here we are, November Sixth or seventh, eighth, eighth, ninth.
	It took over a week, week and a half, or something, or I guess a week.
	Was it a check?
	Yeah.
	Oh, okay.
	It was a check in two notes.
	He has a second note, which you may have a copy of, but it wasn't meant to be read.
	I don't have a second.
	No, no, I don't.
	No, I should have.
	You should have got a copy.
	Sorry.
	Don't have it.
	Was it personal?
	Oh, I was just saying what a great guy I am.
	You're mean to me.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, that's personal, obviously.
	So it was something like that.
	Oh, so this next note is a request for me to read it in my best Mark Ruth.
	It's your note to read because he wants you to read it as Mark Ruta.
	I think it's a she.
	She is Luce von Opseiland Koloff from Hailo in the Netherlands, 333.
	Lo ES is a female's name in Holland.
	Luce.
	Luce is a female name.
	Hilo is a nice name.
	L-O-E-S.
	Luce?
	Luce, yes.
	That's a very, very female Dutch name.
	Luce.
	Hoy Adam, please read this in your best Mark Rutte voice.
	Dear Adam and John, I'm listening to your show since the end of 2018 after being hit in the mouth for many, many times by my husband.
	Oh, it hurts.
	You have been the voice of reason and kept me sane during the vape wars.
	I worked in a vape shop.
	A vape shop?
	That is a vape shop.
	That is amazing that you worked in the vape shop.
	That is fantastic.
	She goes on to say, I wanted to be a dame for my 40th birthday on the 90th of November, 9th of November.
	Please put me on the birthday list.
	But inflation and other financial setbacks didn't make it possible.
	It's possible now, ain't it?
	Yes, it's very good.
	Still, I wanted to donate.
	You give me a lot of value.
	More than I can ever pay you back.
	Every time I doubted if I should donate it, I saw a lot of 33s, 1111s, 8008s coming by the supermarket I work.
	So the universe is telling me to donate.
	So please deduce me.
	You've been deduced.
	Yingalls, vape wars, look at that use, and it's true.
	Please give my husband Pelosi jobs karma.
	He starts a new job in January and a travel karma for us because we're going to visit friends in America during Christmas.
	Four more years.
	From Luce.
	Hey, Luce, tell me where you're going to be.
	Are you going to be anywhere near Texas?
	I will come to see you.
	That would be fun.
	And bring some Dutch licorice, please.
	Can you see that juice?
	That's true.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	You know, I should say that all Dutch people know this: that whenever you visit someone from a Dutchman or someone who grew up in Holland, who no longer lives in the country, you have to bring Dutch licorice with you.
	And the other day, someone sent me four bags of Dutch licorice.
	It's like crack.
	Most Americans hate it.
	It's salty black licorice, but oh man, it's so good.
	It's like a Vegeta.
	Marm meat.
	Marmite.
	Yeah, it's like Vegeta, Marmite.
	It's a terrible.
	No, it's wonderful.
	It's so good.
	Yeah, salty.
	Especially if you're going to bring something in from Holland.
	Tell them to bring in some of the Dutch absinthe.
	No, Scholkreit, Budreydrop, Salman Jakbala, Engels Drop.
	Those are some of my favorites.
	Switcheroo from the Indy meetup, $300 came in.
	This is the longest note ever.
	And I'm not sure that they want us to read this whole note.
	But it's a switcheroo to Sir Ohio Bloke from the Buckeye State checking in.
	Another late stage boomer here who absolutely loves it when you two launch into boomer talks.
	Oh, they were winning.
	Winning.
	Winning.
	It's always spot on and never fails to crack me up.
	I've been on board since around episode 200 and truly appreciate the twice weekly dose of Santa T. My human resource span, three generations, millennial Gen X, Gen Alpha.
	And let me tell you, let me tell you, much of what you say about the younger generation rings true in my own HR department.
	The good news is, the good news is all of mine can read an analog clock and know how to use a tape measure.
	So there's still hope out there.
	Make the short hope over to the short hope.
	The short hop over to the New England, New England.
	Northeast.
	Northeast Indiana next week.
	And he's New England to me.
	Indiana next week for the India and a tri-state short and long barrel safety meetup.
	Brought along, sir, son of a bloke for another one of my Gen Z sons.
	Okay, it goes on and on.
	He sent a lot of lead downrange at pumpkins.
	That's what their meetup was.
	It was a shooting.
	You should have said this word.
	Yeah, shooting at pumpkins.
	I love it.
	I love it.
	And he goes on, JCD's tip.
	I tracked down some old Crow 86, or it's actually just Crow 86 to throw it into the raffle.
	Excellent stuff.
	Yeah, okay.
	And then he wraps it up with, I can't read because it's off the spreadsheet.
	He says, we even got droned again at the end of a great photo group, great group photo, the perfect wrap-up to an awesome meetup.
	Finally, could you add my youngest Lucy to the birthday list?
	She turned 11 last Friday.
	I believe she's on there.
	So no worries.
	Anyway, with Nathan Parker from Seattle, Washington, 222.22, a row of ducks, no notes, so a double up karma for Nathan Parker.
	You've got.
	Karma.
	Eli the Coffee Guy, as the government shutdown drags into November, which it has done, delays are everywhere from airports to food stamps plus the paychecks of the federal workforce.
	At least coffee deliveries are still running on time so far.
	Yes, so far.
	Order now.
	So visit giggowattcoffee roasters.com.
	Use code ITM20 for 20% off your order.
	Stay caffeinated, says Eli the coffee guy.
	P.S. Can you add the United States Marine Corps to the birthday list on 1110?
	Happy 250th.
	Semper Phi.
	Sir Q checks in from Cisco, Texas, $210.60.
	I'm donating because I spent $17 on an eight-part series that Sean Ryan put out.
	He's charging money now?
	I don't know what he's talking about.
	We know Sean Ryan is.
	The name rings the bell, but I don't know who he is.
	Yeah, it's a Sean Ryan podcast.
	He's a big, big, he's a former CIA million.
	Oh, that guy.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I know who it is.
	Seems like a nice guy.
	Yeah, it probably is.
	But he's charging money.
	So $17 on an eight-part series that Sean Ryan put out.
	Here's the kicker.
	I should have saved my money and sent it to you guys.
	You should have.
	Though it was about PSYOPS and had good info in it, it seemed like the series was a psyop itself.
	It probably was.
	It was a radio lab type of audio-only stress fest.
	The Sean Ryan show.
	Sigh, Radio Lab.
	Something like that, I guess.
	Listening to No Agenda, I get the same deconstruction with none of the stress.
	Thanks, says Sir Q of Eastland County.
	No, thank you very much, brother.
	Interesting.

	Thank you to our executive and associate executive producers.
	Our formula is this.
	We hit people in the mouth.
	Can you see that?
	Juice?
	Shut up.
	We have a series of clips.
	series.
	This came out last year.
	No, it's not.
	And I don't know why we haven't played these clips.
	Don't tell me.
	Tell about the Hillary bribe.
	Wait, is this the Overstock CEO?
	Yeah.
	We've played this.
	I don't remember playing it.
	I would have remembered this.
	Oh, no.
	Okay.
	I don't want you to think I'm mean to you.
	Well, you are mean to me, but that's beside the point.
	Can you look it up and see if we played these?
	Yes, of course we played these.
	What's the guy's name again?
	Patrick Bryce.
	No, it's not Bryce.
	I think it's Bryce.
	No, it's not Patrick Bryce.
	Well, it's Patrick something.
	Byrne.
	Patrick Byrne.
	Byrne.
	Patrick Byrne.
	Exactly.
	That's what I said.
	Patrick Byrne.
	Okay.
	I can find it for you.
	This will be good because then I don't have to play these.
	Hillary.
	Let me do the search is Patrick and Hillary.
	Here it is.
	I have.
	This is a long time ago, actually.
	Let's see.
	Stop that now.
	And first thing she's going to do the day she becomes president is she's going to send her goons over to the FBI.
	Remember this?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah.
	This is from.
	What was the date on this then?
	November 1st, 2020.
	That's interesting because the problem I have with it, I'm wondering if it's the same clips because he talks about the Durham report in these clips.
	And this could be a reiteration of the whatever.
	It could be a replay.
	Let's do it then because it's still really good.
	I don't know.
	Well, you know, I hate to play repetitive clips.
	Well, let me just five years ago.
	Let me just summarize.
	This is where he was given, he was supposed to give Hillary a bribe.
	She actually took the money, and then she went down the elevator, and he went in the elevator.
	And then the FBI.
	There's no elevator talking this way.
	Oh, and then the FBI says, no, no, we're not talking about it.
	It's over.
	You got to forget this ever happened.
	I think this is a repeat of the old story.
	So I don't think we need to play it.
	But again, it's five years old.
	It might be worth playing again to remind people.
	But I'm going to say no.
	Okay.
	Well, I'll go on your no.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	But people can look it up.
	Just go to YouTube and, you know, Hillary Bribe.
	I thought it was a disgusting tale.
	And sorry, I didn't remember.
	Let's go to tariff doom.
	How about that for an idea?
	Tariff Doom?
	And you said, since you like the way I spell tariff, I made sure to spell it even better.
	It's been over seven months.
	Ah, there's no SS.
	No, it's because the SS came earlier, so you're not going to play that same jingle again.
	So I just reneged on the second SS.
	It's been over seven months since President Trump enacted those sweeping duties on goods from nearly every country.
	And one of the questions before the Supreme Court this week, who's paying them?
	And Paris Juliana Kim joins us.
	Juliana, thanks for being with us.
	Happy to be here.
	Have we seen retail prices change in the past seven months?
	So far, prices have gone up, you know, for coffee, clothing, furniture, things that are almost exclusively imported.
	But interestingly, only about 20% of the tariff burden has actually made it to retail prices.
	That's according to Erica York, an analyst at the Tax Foundation, a group that advocates for simplifying the tax code.
	She told me companies probably had stockpiles of products before tariffs hit.
	And also, a lot of businesses held off changing prices while there was some uncertainty around tariff rates.
	But that strategy is beginning to change, and companies are starting to pass higher costs to the consumer.
	Economists say that's going to become more common in the months ahead.
	What could costs look like in the next year?
	So there's some different numbers floating around.
	The Tax Foundation estimates that if tariffs stay in place throughout next year, a household could face an average burden of $1,600.
	I also asked this question to Ken Smeters, the faculty director at the Penn Wharton budget model, and he estimates that existing tariffs could tack on as much as 1% to your average spending.
	So if you spent $50,000 a year, that's an extra $500.
	Keep in mind, prices are just one part of the story.
	You know, tariffs can also lead companies to slow hiring or cut wages, which isn't good news for an already weakening job market.
	Okay.
	Well, there's a couple of things we're going to have to come to grips with.
	These high tariffs and reestablishing American manufacturing is not going to save the consumer money.
	The Chinese can produce products and have them shipped over here cheaper than we're ever going to be able to make the product, no matter how good we are.
	So, I mean, but nobody wants to admit this, and they're faulting Trump.
	I mean, it's more important to have the jobs over here and suffer a little bit.
	So, you know, so your bird, you know, your little bird house you bought at Joann's or wherever you got this thing is, you know, you got for a buck and a half.
	It's going to cost you $250.
	I mean, it's fine.
	It's just going to, but this idea that things are going to be cheaper when we're cutting off the supply of cheap junk is unlikely.
	Part two.
	Of course, exit polls from Cube Racers this week show that the cost of living and the economy are the biggest concerns for voters.
	How do you think tariffs have played into that?
	Tariffs have pushed prices higher, but for the most part, the increases have been fairly modest.
	That being said, many Americans are struggling with inflation fatigue.
	I spoke to Michelle Florio, a paraprofessional in New Jersey, and she says she's held off buying a new car and a mattress because tariffs have made them too expensive.
	And even her holiday plans are changing.
	I have been giving baked goods as gifts for 53 years.
	And now I don't know.
	But wait a minute.
	Baked goods?
	She makes baked goods as gifts, but now she doesn't know.
	I don't know.
	Maybe I can't make them because of the tariffs.
	What has the tariffs got to do?
	See, this is the problem I'm having with the Democrats in this bullcrap.
	They extend it to something like baked goods.
	Yes.
	It's bad.
	Oh, I'm making baked goods.
	I don't know if I can make the baked goods anymore because of the tariffs.
	Oh, flour is so expensive.
	It's made somewhere.
	I don't know where I'm getting it.
	That's bull crap.
	I've been watching the quad screen and I've been seeing this developing story, and it is worth discussing for a moment.
	Breaking news to bring you about the BBC.
	The BBC chairman has announced that both the Director General, Tim Davey, and the news CEO, Deborah Tennesse are to resign.
	Let's bring you more on that story.
	Our cultural reporter, Norn Angie, is with me here.
	So tell us about the background to this and about the resignation statements.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Really significant news that's just come to us in the last few minutes.
	So both the BBC's Director General, Tim Davey, but also Deborah Tennesse who is the CEO of News, both resigning.
	We've just had that, as I say, in the last few minutes.
	Okay, well, that was a useless report, but I know what this is about because I'm looking at all the news.
	This is over the BBC Panorama episode where they edited Trump together to make it look like he was telling the January 6th protesters to go fight like hell and go storm the Capitol.
	Do you know anything about this story?
	This is amazing.
	No, I have no idea about this, but that is scandalous.
	And so the director and the CEO have resigned.
	I have a clip of the controversy.
	I actually had it from, I think maybe two shows ago.
	Here, check it out.
	Well, it's the biggest story in town.
	It turns out American President Donald Trump was onto something.
	Where are you from?
	BBC.
	Here's another beauty.
	Impartial free and fair.
	Yeah, sure.
	Well, that criticism of the BBC and John Sopel, he was talking to there, apparently was well-founded because the so-called impartial and accurate public service broadcaster is nothing but.
	You are fake news.
	Sir, can you state categorically that nobody because tonight the BBC is facing serious questions over its credibility after the Daily Telegraph exposed a panorama segment that heavily doctored a speech by the American president in 2021, hours before the infamous January the 6th Capitol riot.
	As you're about to hear, the corporation spliced together two quotes one hour apart to make it seem like he encouraged an insurrection.
	They played the following clip.
	We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you.
	And we fight.
	We fight like hell.
	But Trump didn't, in fact, say this at all.
	The BBC spliced together two clips that took place 54 minutes apart.
	So let's go through it again.
	We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you.
	Now, see there, between Capitol and and, that's a cut.
	Here's what Trump actually said.
	We're going to walk down to the Capitol and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.
	It's different.
	It wasn't until nearly an hour later that he then said the second part of the BBC's version.
	We're going to walk down to the Capitol.
	Now they're fast forwarding an hour.
	And we fight.
	We fight like hell.
	So that's the scandal.
	And wow.
	The North Sea Nexus under attack.
	Look at what's happened.
	We got the Prince stripped of his title.
	We've got the ambassador wrapped up in the Epstein affair, gone.
	What's his face?
	Yep.
	And now the director and the CEO of the BBC resigning over this.
	This is pretty big.
	That is big.
	Man, I'm glad we caught this on our show day.
	Thanks for doing this.
	You know, this kind of shows this kind of dubious editing took place on Friday.
	I don't have clips.
	On the News Hour because everybody's in a Tizzy.
	Everybody's in a Tizzy over the Tucker Carlson Nick Fuentes interview, which we played a couple of.
	The guy at the Heritage Foundation got into trouble and got kind of booted from, you know, being accepted as a, I don't know, conservative operation.
	I don't know what the deal is.
	Did he get kicked out of the Heritage?
	No, they asked him to resign, but he wouldn't.
	And all he said was, I didn't, you know, but apparently he said it out of the blue.
	It wasn't, and I'm not even sure that's true.
	But he says, I think that Nick Fuentes doing Carlson is fine because they were just having a conversation that they both wanted to have.
	And the reason for the conversation initially, according to Tucker, was they were having an online beef with each other.
	And so let's put it on the, let's have the beef face to face, like you and I do all the time.
	This is exactly the op that I was talking about.
	So the other side is now retaliating.
	And this is the neocon side.
	And they're retaliating against this guy who you said was too weak and would never be able to kick Lindsey Graham out.
	I'm not saying that that's not true.
	But that is exactly the response you would expect that going after that guy.
	And so the latest thing is, I think it was today or yesterday, or yesterday, probably yesterday, the day before, Ben Shapiro shows up on CNN on Jake Tapper's show to condemn Tucker.
	Wow.
	He's going into the enemy camp.
	Calling him a racist, which is like, you know, boy.
	Shapiro is sketchy.
	We have to remember that he hated Trump.
	We went through the whole thing in the last show.
	But then the one that really got me, though, was on Friday on PBS News Hour, the woman there, Amina blah, blah, blah, whatever her name is, who's got not a good stage name because I can't remember her name.
	She did a whole thing, an entire segment on Nick Fuentes and on Tucker.
	And she said, here's some of the stuff he said.
	And they took clips from the Tucker show out of context, completely out of context.
	Wow.
	Every one of them was out of context.
	The whole thing about his misogyny, and they played the out of context clips that we had in context.
	We had ours were in context as usual, and theirs were out of context to make him sound like an idiot.
	And then they condemned Tucker.
	So there's all kinds of, and Fuentes, does he have a publicist?
	This guy's getting more publicity than anybody I know.
	Well, he's the perfect uh, poster child for the moment.
	It's perfect.
	It's a perfect kid, it's perfect.
	It is a lot of material, a lot of very inflammatory material.
	You know the, the podcast, the podosphere is still buzzing, still buzzing.
	Everyone's all abuzz, oh yeah, going on each other's podcasts.
	But this idea of taking stuff out of context and and rejiggering it to make yes, your point, I was not acceptable.
	I would like someone to edit Adam and John out of context and make a really funny bit, something we can play, because somebody, the guy, if you, if you're a humorist, you could probably make it very amusing.
	Yeah we, we'd like, especially if you could take that, if you, especially if you can take an hour out of the conversation and drop some bomb in from the end, like the BBC did.
	Yeah wow, that's fantastic.
	I mean that's.
	You know who could be next, who?
	I, with all of this happening and the and and, by the way, we don't really have much on it, but of course, we have Brennan supposedly uh, getting subpoenaed, and Lisa Lisa Page and uh, her boyfriend, whatever his name was.
	You know, people are gonna go down this this.
	Well now, I know you're skeptical, but this Arctic frost is still hanging in there and of course we also have this was big news from the Blaze uh, which is quite interesting.
	Um, one of his reporters did a gate analysis on the january 6 pipe bomber.
	Have you been following this story?
	I've been trying to.
	They can't seem.
	You know that this the pipe bomber was an op of some sort.
	Yes, a former Capitol Police cop who worked for the CIA.
	Yeah, but I like that.
	They did gate analysis.
	I don't know what a gate analysis is your gate, someone's gate, how they walk their gate?
	Oh, the gate o-g-a-i-t.
	Yes, the gate analysis.
	Oh yeah, gate analysis.
	You know, if you could, I could spot Biden a mile away.
	Well so, exactly.
	So the first thing is I think I said right away, that's a woman, that's a woman who's walking with that hoodie.
	So wow, I got that one.
	But they have other video of her and they did some Ai analysis and the Ai gate analysis shows 94 match between the january 6 pipe bomber and an Ex-capitol Police cop who works for the CIA.
	I want to see a gate analysis on that law.
	Daddy Longlegs skipping over the lawn, go there, skipping over the lawn to the helicopter.
	Give me a.
	Yeah, you know, I don't even know, what do you?
	Do you need a gate analysis?
	I mean, come on, the guy's legs were five inches longer than Biden's.
	He didn't.
	You know, didn't have that back and forth kind of man.
	The gate analysis.
	I want a gate.
	Get it in it GROK GROK, give me a gate analysis.
	This is fantastic stuff and this, by the way, this was an it, but which brings me to another interesting another, another interesting point, because i'm so interesting, the um.
	There was a story, if you remember, about three weeks ago Biden, who's supposedly dying of all kinds of you know, he's like a wreck.
	Oh, he rang the bell, he's cancer free.
	I didn't know that yeah, he is.
	That's what they say.
	Oh brother okay well, whatever the case, during his cancer moment, supposedly he and Obama were at the same restaurant.
	You remember this story.
	It was about yeah yeah, several months ago.
	Yes yeah, and they were at the same restaurant and Obama never went to talk to him and it was like Obama's a jerk because he wouldn't eat.
	The vice president, his old buddy, is there and he wouldn't even say hello and they, everyone monitored this, and Biden was in the front outside, in the I guess in the outdoor, eating and he's eating with somebody and and and The reason he never went and talked to him because it wasn't Biden.
	It was some other, it was Daddy Longlegs.
	It was a Daddy Longlegs guy.
	What's he going to talk to him about?
	I got nothing to say, ma'am.
	I got to get back to my basketball game.
	I got a pickup game I got to get to.
	And he knew it.
	So what was no reason to talk to him?
	So that's the explanation for this.
	It's not because, I mean, Obama might be a jerk, but I don't think that because, but he knows enough to do, you know, public stuff.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	This, there's that, you know, you're skeptical on Arctic Frost.
	Yes, I agree with you.
	No, I'm not.
	I'm not skeptical of Arctic.
	I'm skeptical that they're going to take action that's going to be meaningful.
	I think they are.
	I think that, and it's not Congress.
	Who gives a crap about Congress?
	I'm talking about a Department of Justice.
	You got A.G. Barbie.
	Let me remind me who's the head of the Department of Justice.
	AG Barbie.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And what has she done so far?
	Hang in there.
	I have a feeling.
	I just feel on my water.
	My water tells me something's coming.
	Water.
	It's a duty.
	Is this some new thing that you picked up from the five Brians?
	It's a Dutchism.
	No, it's not from Pastor Jimmy and the Five Brians.
	In Holland, we say igfulitum of the I feel it on my water.
	I don't know where it comes from.
	I have no idea.
	It's a Dutchism.
	Huh?
	Should we look into the etymology?
	No, I don't think you need to, but I think we should document some of these.
	It's a book.
	It's a giblet.
	It's a giblet.
	There's a giblet in there somewhere.
	All right.
	Well, wait, go back.
	If you feel in your water, that sums up.
	We would feel it in our bones.
	Our bones.
	Right.
	Well, the Dutch feel it in their water because they live underwater, practically.
	I don't know why they say it.
	This is true.
	Ikfulita Mavatar.
	I have this feeling, and it could be hopium.
	I'll be the first to admit.
	I have this feeling that they all pulled back on the Epstein stuff because that's the big bomb that's coming.
	I know it sounds crazy.
	Well, no, I know, but I'm not going to deny the possibility they're going to, but the Epstein thing is just going to be the release of the documents.
	And in fact, there was a report that they have one guy that's supposed to be that, oh, this is ridiculous.
	This was on, I think it was PBS.
	They said, oh, they're worried that, you know, Mike Johnson's not bringing Congress back.
	Because of Epstein, the Epstein, yeah.
	Because of the Epstein files, because they got this one guy they're going to have to, you know, he's going to come in.
	He's the new Democrat.
	They're going to change.
	He's going to add one more vote to getting the Epstein files released.
	He's going to, well, this guy's coming in eventually.
	Yeah.
	That's bullcrap, but I think you're right.
	The Epstein files may be a bad coming.
	Yeah, and I think they're going to push it off as far as they can closest to the midterms.
	Yeah, of course.
	That's when you want to do it.
	By the way, Void Zero correctly corrects me.
	He says the term is actually ikful ate water.
	But I think it's often shortened to water.
	So I feel it on my tea water.
	Ah.
	So that may be like that makes it even more obscure.
	What tea water?
	I don't know.
	I can't help you there.
	Void, what is that from, man?
	Explain.
	It's got to be like reading the tea leaves.
	Might, maybe, maybe something like that.
	I do have a quick series of three clips to wind this up.
	As this will enrage everybody.
	You know what?
	I'm not going to do it.
	I'm going to save these.
	I'll save these.
	Oh, wait.
	What are they about?
	Cancer.
	Oh, you don't want to do cancer.
	No, it's like every stroke in cancer is blamed on alcohol.
	It couldn't be anything.
	Oh, sure.
	Couldn't be.
	And it couldn't be.
	It was going to be one of those, what?
	Yeah.
	And then I have two.
	I have a couple of, I have a funny rant we can finish with.
	If you got something funny, let's finish with something funny.
	This is the, this is, I think her name is Megan.
	She's getting really famous online for, she's a black, very blunt.
	There's a little cussing going on in this one for people.
	Warning.
	She's a black woman who's just a tell-it-like it is type.
	And she goes off on the trans, you know, the bathrooms ever since this thing happened at the gym.
	Oh, yeah.
	But they kicked her out instead of the dude.
	Yeah.
	Now, I don't know what this is.
	I don't think this is the same woman, but this woman has been making a fuss and she goes off.
	She goes off.
	And here it is.
	So let me start this off with, I lost my housing.
	I lost my food stamps.
	No, no, no.
	Wrong one.
	Wrong one.
	Okay.
	That's the food stamp woman.
	The one we're looking at is black woman on Tyr Tyron's rants.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Oops.
	Hold on.
	Tyrants.
	Tyrants.
	Okay.
	So I have a PSA announcement.
	Okay.
	So I am a woman.
	Okay.
	Uteries, cooch, ovaries, all night.
	Okay.
	So I am a woman.
	Okay.
	And I'm telling you, we don't want y'all asses in our bathroom.
	Okay?
	I don't give a damn if you feel like a woman, if you've always felt like a woman, if you think you're a woman, if you think you look like a woman, if you're feminine, if you act more like a woman than women do and all this other shit.
	I'm telling you what it is, ho.
	We do not want your asses, your dick, your beans, your balls, testicles.
	We don't want y'all in our bathroom.
	Okay?
	You understand what I'm telling you?
	I don't care how you feel.
	I don't care what you think.
	I don't care about human rights, civil rights, rights of transition, of transformation, whatever it is.
	I don't give a damn.
	Stay y'all asses out of women's spaces.
	That's it.
	Let's stop discussing it.
	Okay?
	It's not up for discussion.
	Do not go into the woman's bathroom.
	Okay?
	Now that's it.
	All right?
	Okay?
	Just take your ass into the all-gender bathroom or the men's bathroom or go pee in the bush.
	We don't give a damn.
	Just don't bring your ass into the woman's bathroom.
	Okay, we got that?
	Okay, family.
	I'm going to show my soul by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do this.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
	Yeah, all no agenda in the morning.
	Wow.
	Wow.

	Wow.
	Yeah.

	After I, you know, I was so consumed with that woman that I need to set up a few things here.
	I'm almost ready.
	Because, you know, typically when we'd hit this segment, you'd start reading and then I'd set up the thing.
	And I'm done.
	Okay, there we go.
	Yes, I'm going to thank the donors $50 and above.
	And as John said, it'll go pretty quickly.

	I'm very excited about this tip because Phoebe is stinking.
	Stevie?
	No, it's Phoebe.
	Oh, Phoebe.
	Phoebe.
	I thought you said Stevie.
	You got a little sibilance going on.
	No, that's my teeth.
	No, it's my teeth.
	It's a combination of my teeth and your hearing.
	What?
	The older we get, the more artifacts will be introduced into the show.
	What?
	Hey, John.
	How are the nations today?
	All right.
	Odor side.

	You get the liquid.
	It's an odor eliminator.
	It's called, it's called K-O-E, which stands for Kennel Odor Eliminator.
	And it's for kennels, but it's also good for home.
	Cage runs, cages runs, anything.
	It's a non-enzymatic formula, fresh scent.
	It smells like apricots, actually.
	Amazon has it as Amazon's choice for making your dog area smell better.
	Do you spread this on the dog or in the house?
	No, no, no.
	You get a mop and you get a bucket of water and you put this in there and you mop around.
	You just mop everything with it.
	Oh, no.
	I'm not going to say that.
	Yeah, you mop up.
	No.
	If you want to, hey, the dog.
	You want to give the dog a bath, okay?
	Yeah.
	This is what you're looking for.
	Dog bath stuff.
	This is not for dog baths.
	Oh, this is for the area that you get the dog in the car to.
	The car stinks.
	Oh, yeah.
	You got a dog in a, you got a kennel.
	You got some place in a dog cage.
	It stinks.

	Breaking.
	Hashtag breaking.
	Three alarms.
	Three revolving lights.
	Breaking.
	Breaking news.

	Sorry for the breaking.
	Couldn't resist.
	All right.

	It's all breaking.
	Owners.
	You know, Horowitz and I predicted the 10th.
	Really?
	That will be tomorrow.
	I mean, do we have a prop?
	Can we do it?
	Are there prop bets on this?
	It's got to be prop bet.
	I'm sure there's tons of it.
	It's got to be a prop bet.
	Well, they have to do so.
	We need news to cover up the BBC director.
	We need some news.
	The North Sea Nexus is looking for some good point.
	The calls went out.
	Oh, we got to stop people thinking that our news is fake.
	Come on, guys, vote against it.
	Wow.
	That would be good.
	Well, it would be nice.
	It has to.

	Remember, we do not conform to the way of the world.
	No, sir.
	What are you laughing about?
	What does that even mean?
	Some people, if you know, you know.
	If you know, you know.
	Oh, I love that you reacted that way.
	That's funny.
	Of course, we will return on Thursday, one day before chaos, or a couple days after everything calms down and gets back to normal again.
	And then what will we be outraged about?
	Candace Owens, please tell me.
	I need something to get freaked out about.
	And you're right.
	Once we knew the 90 Days was out in the Potosphere and the Fredericksburg area, we knew that it was going to end soon.

	Whoa, what was that?
	Well, yes, they are a major source.
	And I can tell you that in the Situation Room, I've seen photographs of fentanyl labs in Canada that the law enforcement folks were leaving alone.
	Canada's got a big drug problem, even in their own cities.
	Walk around, you know, Toronto and see what it's like.
	And yeah, you'll see druggage.
	And frankly, you know, we have intelligence that Mexican cartels operate in Canada as well.
	Please don't walkies up in the dot.
	Please, big man, you're in your 50s and gotta stop.
	Please don't wanna parties up in the six.
	Stop saying the six because we need a fix.
	City has been lost.
	Citizens have paid the cost.
	Talent undeniable.
	Crying unnecessary like moss.
	Posing like you can't afford the lifestyle that you live.
	Going live on IG, telling on yourself and your kids.
	Can't hold information in your head, leaking like a sieve.
	Call it what it is.
	Trying not if you really tried.
	I mean, if you never really tried, then you've never really lived.
	Hate to say it, look around.
	What is really going down?
	Liners mouthing the lyrics, the sexy red and pound town.
	Brooming kids done right out in the open.
	Giving your kids this when you're younger and you're hoping there's no intervoking.
	Kids are messed up in life, but that's not a joke, man.
	I'm not joking.
	Now your kids are messed up for life.
	And that's not a joke.
	I mean, joking.
	Yeah.
	This is a hitter.
	This is the next number one.
	Needle drop.
	Needle drop.
	Scratch the record.

	Scratch the record.
	Pick up the little grooves in this vinyl.
	Scratching the record.
	Pick up the little grooves.
	This is a hitter.
	This is the next number one.
	Needo, needle, needle, needle, needle, needle, needle.
	In an arm.
	Needle drop.
	Needle drop.
	Scratch the record.
	I'm sorry I asked.
	Yeah, well, you did ask.
	In the morning.
	Badly.
	Hey!
	Wake up, it's the morning.
	Adam and John are at the speaker door.
	Knocking so loud that you can't ignore.
	Ba-da-ba-da-ba, slop-free deconstruction that you adore.
	Thanks to all of the wonderful producers of the show.
	Adam Curry likes his live music straight from Gitmo.
	I'm about to OD on Giga Watt coffee, but the show's about to start, so I'ma put it on the screen.
	Everything we're Asian from underneath the dome, from the river to the sea, from the cradle to the tomb.
	We don't discriminate, but of us talk shit.
	Don't snowflake out, things about to get loose.
	Shut up, slave, or I'll hit you in the mouth.
	Frank and scratch it up, slave.
	I'm finna smack you in your mouth.
	No agentic GPT propagating positivity.
	Oh my god, I like, can't believe I'm a part of group shedders.
	I was special and it feels good to be validated.
	I'm blowing up the boats on the Caribbean.
	Not with a little fizzle, but with an explosive missile.
	Gonna burn the hull, sink the druggies boats they sent.
	Cause the voyage I was on was never gonna end.
	Yeah, I'm blowing up the boats.
	Let the wreckage drift away.
	No turning back to what defied me yesterday.
	When the smoke clears out, I'll see the open sea.
	A clean slate harbor, finally just for me.
	Watch the scraps fly, hear the loud, final sound of every criminal hitting the ground.
	It's a terrifying freedom, an echoing peace, a brand new navigation that will never cease.
	The world is wider than the waters they sail.
	When the drug life is gone, you know you cannot fail.
	I'm blowing up the boats on the Caribbean Sea tonight.
	Not with dynamite, but with an explosive light.
	Gonna burn the ballast, sink the druggies boats they sent.
	Cause the voyage I was on was never gonna end.
	Yeah, I'm blowing up the boats.
	Let the wreck.
	Adios, Mofo.
